I'm fairly certain there are no jet nozzles in my spa. Are those to facilitate a blower which I don't have? Our spa is more like a creek with some current than a turbulent spa. :( Yes, I did think about the check valve(s). I'm going to put one at the exit of both pumps so that I can use...

nozzle size is 3/4", I believe. They are the same as the pool jet nozzles. I'm going to put the pumps in parallel and hope for the best. To your point, they're doing no good at all in series with the 2nd not running and I have to bypass the filter when the 2nd IS running. If it turns out I...

For now I'm going to re-do the pad with the pumps in parallel and bypass the filter when I use the 2nd pump. Just put the pool in last year and can't imagine what ripping out all the pipe would cost. Thanks for your help on this. Disappointing that my PB was so inept. I just replaced two of...

I'm thinking you guys are going to tell me my filter is undersized. So, if I were to put set the filter valve to recirculate when I crank up the 2nd pump, is that the same as adding another valve to bypass the filter using pipe?

And pipe size is 1 1/2". Starting to get a bad feeling about my filter size and pushing 2.5hp gpm through 1 1/2" pipe...

Here's what I think the filter is: Model Number Filter Diameter Filter Area (ft2) Pipe Size Desgn Flow Rate (gpm) Maximun Working Pressure (PSI) Media Requires* (lbs) Carton Dimension (inch) BC3054 22" 2.69 1 1/2" 45 50 250 23 x 23 x 38 Pumps are Reliant CS4M249I1L (1hp) and CS4M257I1L...

That would have been nice... The floor of the spa would be all drains since you'd need two more I'm guessing though. I'd like to be able to run both of these pumps for the pool itself as well to get better water movement at times. I'm in Memphis and we have 75 ft pines that like to do a mass...

The flex hose on the left is now permanent plumbed waste line. main pump is the one in the middle. fed by spa drain, pool drain, skimmers. two valves after the chlorinator are for spa jets and pool jets. after spa valve is electric heater and 2nd pump. The valves are horrible. I want to...

We had a pool built last summer. The builder did a lot of weird things one of which is using two pumps with one before the sand filter and the other after. The pool has a spa and the intention was that when the valve is set for the spa, the 2nd pump can be turned on to increase the flow rate...

I am definitely trying to figure out how my equipment should be installed so if something needs to be added or subtracted from the pad then that is fine. Also, I'll send pics of the spa and pool. Thank you for your interest.

I don't think I have the registration docs. Ugh. Pool contractor is not very responsive either. I will reach out to Hayward to see how I should proceed.

We might have crossed wires a bit on this. What I'm trying to figure out is if I move pump 2 to be inline with pump 1 before the filter, will I get the equivalent of 1.5hp using pump 1 and 2.5hp when I turn on pump 2 for when I want more water flow to the spa. You can see they're inline now...

You can see the 1hp pump is after the heater. They are actually in series now but the 1.5hp pushes to the filter and the 1hp pulls. I think ideally I replace the 1.5 hp with a variable 2.5hp and take out the 1hp altogether but that will obviously cost more and we just had the pool built and...

I have 3 hayward 1.5" colorlogic led lights. one at 25'. one at 50' and one at 75'. They are connected to an intermatic transformer on the 13v tap. The light on the longest run stopped working. My pool contractor isn't very interested in fixing it. The lights are just a few months old so...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll do some drawing and get makes/model asap.

I had a new pool and spa build this summer. The contractor plumbed it where the spa/main/skimmer returns feed pump 1 (1.5hp), then to the filter, then to the pool jets and spa jets. The spa and pool jets have valves as do the returns. after the spa jet valve there is the heater and pump 2...

I'm thinking that my best option will be to spot sand the spots with a very fine sanding block but then again I know absolutely nothing about pool plaster.

Thanks for the welcome! The builder said he thought it would wear off over the summer but if it did not that he would acid wash that area in the fall. He tried using a 1000 grit sanding block which seemed to address some of the spots but not all. I guess I'm just trying to make sure that an...

Hi, we just had a gunite pool built. It’s light grey plaster. Unfortunately the deck was poured the day after it was plastered and the 18” shallow area didn’t yet have water covering it. The deck is a titnted concrete and some was splattered across the shallow area. Spots are maybe 1/2”...
