    Hayward Heater Clicking/Knocking

    I’ve had a Hayward H150FD heater running a few seasons now. It’s been stored inside during the winter and installed 3 months each summer. Recently it’s started to show “Lo” which usually is an issue with the water pressure or pressure switch. I’ve gone through all the troubleshooting in the...

    What is your heater/pump schedule?

    Howdy. My setup is below in the signature. I'm wondering how to schedule the pump/heater running. The last few years I've used an auto timer that turns both on at 6AM and off around 5PM. The heater only runs as necessary to maintain temp. I know this isn't optimal as each night the pool...

    Hayward H150FDP Heater no Heat

    Just turned the bad boy on this season. It was brand new last season. The heater starts up, no error codes at all, water is flowing, no bad sounds etc, but no heat. Flow is good. Valves are set correctly. No error codes on heater. I can hear/see fan and unit is burning NAT as normal...

    Hayward SP1091WM Skimmer Connection?

    For those of you with this skimmer, what size is the output connector on the bottom? It's a large male thread that doesn't seem to be standard? I need to adapt it to 2" PVC. Thanks. Dyna-Skim | White Goods | Above Ground Pool White Goods - Hayward Pool Products

    SWCG Output?

    Are there any problems running a larger SWCG (as far as Chlorine output) than needed? I have a line on 20G, 30G, and 40G units.....price is similar so just wondering if there would be any problems. I take it the only difference is the amount of time one needs to run the unit to produce...

    Intex SWCG is being returned.

    After a month of it working one day, then the next day saying "HIGH SALT", then the next day working, I'm sending it back. It only works when it wants to regardless of the actual salt content or cleanliness of the electrolytic plates. Don't be fooled by the good reviews on Amazon: Amazon.com ...

    Best foundation/base for AGP?

    Current AGP is on a dirt/sand base cut out of our steeply angled back yard. Every year, no matter how much sand-leveling I do, the pool is offset 2-3" to the low side....not level at all. Considering options for a more permanent base and wondering if a concrete pad is the way to go? Are...

    Hayward H150FDN Timer Setup?

    I have a Hayward H150FDN heater and am trying to determine the best way to have it come on automatically with the pump. Is it ok to use the heater's water flow sensor as a "timer"? I see no other way to have it automatically heat the water whenever the pump is on since I don't run the pump...

    Heater Timing

    With a smaller above ground pool (3400g) is it better to keep the heater on all the time or turn it off each day? Is it more energy efficient to run the heater all the time so it simply maintains the temp? I've been turning it off in the evenings but then it has to heat up the entire pool...

    Super fast buildup on Intex SWG ECO7110

    Yesterday I noticed that the Electrolytic Plates on our barely-broken-in Intex ECO7110 were all caked up. This unit has been in service for under 15 hours total. Multiple salt tests show it at 3240. CH shows around 50 but I have the TF-100 kit arriving today and will retest. I soaked the...

    Help with levels...

    14' x 42" Intex Round Vinyl with SWG FC 5.0 PH 6.8 TA 180 CH 0 I have a Hayward heater and will be raising CH with Calcium Chloride. For TA, I've read here that you can aerate (which I don't really have an easy way of doing). If I add dry or Muratic acid, that will lower TA but will also...

    Can I add chlorine to salt water as a temp fix?

    So I bought the wrong pump.....my pool is below the level of the pump so need self-priming unit. The new pump will be here in 2 days. I just filled the pool with fresh water and added 100lbs of salt. Since I can't run the pump and get the SWG system working, is it ok to add Chlorine for the...

    How to bond Intex SWG?

    Working on running the bonding copper and the Intex SWG has no bonding connector. Does it need to be included with the grid with pool, heater, pump etc? I have the Intex 7000gal unit... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PHWUIL2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Proper sequence to glue it all up?

    After 15 runs to HD, I'm finally ready to glue this all together. What is the best sequence to glue? How do you maintain the correct angles when disassembling? Is it best to start in the middle and move out to each unit? Should I use a sharpie to mark the exact locations and angles before I...

    Hayward S180T92S Pump Plumbing

    Just received the Hayward S180T92S Power Flo and sand filter setup. Unfortunately, they ship it with lame flexible hoses with slip on connectors. I would like to use unions and connect the large/outer threads to 2" PVC. Is there something I can buy from Home Depot that will work? Or do I have...

    ABS/PVC to Intex 40MM w/Thread Tape?

    I know it's not perfect and I know the threads don't match after a few turns but has anyone attempted to use a 2 in. PVC Sch. 40 Female S x FPT Adapter with PTFE thread tape on the Intex 40mm male pump/filter fittings? I don't have my system pressurized right now or else I'd test it myself...
