Hello all, I just refilled my pool after having it resurfaced in aquabrite. I also us a swg, so the pool company recommended that I use a sequesterant when adding the 880 pounds of salt necessary to get my pool to 3500ppm to negate any of the impurities in the salt. As such, I used Jack’s...

Good day everyone, I have a 18 x 36 IG pool with a diving board. Last year I got a solar cover and reel, but it’s already broke a wheel and truthfully I’m sure I’m on borrowed time for it’s overall longevity. I would love to be able to put a low profile reel under the diving board and wanted...

I think that the screw that the flap is attached to the diverter will probably line up to the small hole next to the MD hole in the skimmer, but I have no idea what the extra screw on that diverter would go to, or more importantly if it’s even needed assuming I can get one screw properly attached?

I looked at the picture again, the holes are round, the left hole is just warped due to an optical illusion caused by me taking the pic as water was flowing through the skimmer. I do agree with you in that I don’t think the screws on that hayward diverter will match up on my skimmer

Ok, so I’ve done every type of search imaginable for that oval style diverter and cannot find one for sale. Does anyone else have any suggestions on which type of diverter to use on my skimmer? Thanks

Thank you

Hello everyone, Based off a suggestion for another issue, I am looking to get a skimmer diverter float. However, when I took my skimmer basket out, I discovered that there is no place on the bottom of the skimmer for an O ring. Does this really make a difference or is there a diverter float...

Okay, let me see if I understand what your saying correctly. I should put some food coloring into the front hole of the skimmer and then run a garden hose down the front hole of the skimmer to force it down into the MD line and the if I see the food coloring come out of the MD in the bottom of...

Ah, now I understand. Did a little reading up on the diverter after I saw your previous post.

No I don’t have one. I’ll look for one tomorrow. Any recommendations on one? Also, while I’m waiting on that, could I just plug the hole for the main drain to see if it effects flow? Thanks

Hello everyone, After having my pool sand blasted and getting aquabrite finish put on, the guys that did the aquabrite finish told me that when they did their work, they found the entire main drain filled with sand from the sandblasting guys. They told me that they shop vac’d everything that...

Good afternoon everyone. I just finished installing a new, larger sand filter for the pool. I swear I remember reading here to run the backwash for an extended period when starting the filter for the first time, but I can’t find that post again. Or it never existed and the mandela effect has...

It’s getting put in this week, but I will update the site after I have some experience

Thanks, I was thinking the same myself but want to verify with more learned folks than myself

I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying. For pool math I have the option to choose that my pool is either plaster, vinyl, or fiberglass. Since the aquabrite coating is an inert coating should I continue to say that my pool is plaster or pick one of the other options to calculate my proper...

Hello everyone. I am having my pool coated with aquabrite next week. This is a concrete with plaster pool that will have the coating applied on top of the plaster. Should I continue to choose the plaster option for pool math or pick a different option? As always, thanks for your time and...

Hey everyone. I’m in East Tennessee and have been dealing with 9 straight days of rain. As such, I’ve been dumping water out of the pool each day. Today we have finally getting a preak from the rain but when I got up today, the pool is approximately 6 inches lower then when I dumped water last...

Good day everyone, This year, we got a solar cover and as such we had a little bit of a learning curve on what setting to adjust our SWG to considering that most of the week the pool is covered and was resulting in high chlorine levels. Eventually, we went to low on thr SWG and got an algae...

Not sure on the rpm, I’ll be installing the new pentair VS pump when I put in the new filter. I’m hoping to get a flow rate of 60 gpm. The 27in filter is rated for a max of 74 gpm so 60 gpm would allow me to change the pool every 9 hours.

Just a quick question. Would the 27 in be acceptable? It’s only 60 more than the 24 in. Thanks

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the correct size filter. I inherited a Hayward S244T sand filter when I bought this house. I have decided to replace it with a new sand filter due to some issues with the current one. When I went to researching new sand filters I came across a...
