I hear it mostly through the other skimmer. Never heard this before

Thanks, but nothing in any of the hose sections or the vaccum. We even put a new vaccum on the end and as soon as we plug the other end into the skimmer we hear that humming from both skimmers. Poltergeist?

Hello Everyone, A new summer comes a new issue. Just started yesterday. When the vaccum is running a hum comes from the skimmers, but when the vaccum not running no hum. When we rwmove half the hose links no hum, but adding the hose links back it hums. We are dumbfounded and baffled🤣 Any ideas?

Hello Everyone, Our hayward push pull backwash slide valve was slightly leaking at the elbow of the waste pipe. Not enough to come all the way to the end, but just enough to drip slightly at 1st elbow. We have replaced all o rings and still have the issue. Now what? I appreciate any help Thanks

No one has any idea? Im surprised as there are so many knowledgeable members here. Maybe they're busy working still. Hope I get a response soon. Thank you.

Good morning. We have had a mystery of de not sticking to some of the grids by where the backwash exits the filter.Replaced with new grids still the same problem. The other day I noticed a small leak in the hayward slide push/pull backwash valve. Ordered piston o rings. Could this be the reason...

I was only concerned due to the 7.1 magnitude earthquake on the 5th. It rocked us for about 50 seconds because we are so far from the epicenter. About 170 miles. Such a large rolling here in ViewPoint homes off of Camino Las Ramblas.(the very first houses here) We lost about 3 inches of water...

Thanks

Thanks

Well thank you for that information. I dont know since you live in a different climate that the evaporation would be the same here. Your weather is much hotter than here, but I guess it all depends on the temp difference between water and air usually at night.

Where do you live?

Good Morning Southern California pool owners, Our weather here has been all over the place with days not consistant. Hot, Cold, Dry, Humid, Windy and Calm. I was wondering what your conditions and water evaporation has been? Our pool is egg shaped, about 40 feet long and 16 feet at the widest...

Thank you so much for your input.

Thank you for your response The check valve is able to be serviced Unscrew the lid and check the spring and valve seat Which we have done. The valve seat was bad so we replaced it. I am now wondering if the housing is worn out. It didnt look like it when we inspected it, but that doesnt mean...

If the o rings in that bacck wash valve had a small leak wouldnt that ortega check valve right before the filter which is circled in the picture keep the water from flowing back?

Thank you for your response. By plunger valve do you mean the backwash valve? If thats what you are referring we havent checked that one yet. Or are you referring to the ortega check valve that is circled in picture?

I am so frustrated. New problem now. Every thing is running fine. No water leaks. Suction good on pump start up. No bubbles in return lines to pool. A couple of hours after pump shuts off the pipes start up making a noise like water is running. I dont know where its originating from. I can hear...

Put the new ortega valve seal, spring, o ring on cap and new o ring in the pump basket. After several hours I hear that water running sound again. Pump is running fine that I can tell. Should we have lubed the new check valve seat? Sometimes we dont have that issue. I am so confused.

Thank you for your response. I just needed a definitive response. Someone else had also requested pics. I appreciate your help. One more problem down and few more to go. Once I decide which one I want to tackle next I'll start a new thread. Hopefully I'll get all the issues resolved by the end...

Any body out there? I posted pics like I was going to asked ☺

here are some pics of equipment. If you need more or close ups let me know. In the 1st one that I marked the bubbler there is a cut out close to the bottom. My boyfriend says the cap at the bottom is to direct water away from the heater as sometimes it spits at start up.

Thank you. I do appreciate all who are trying to help. I do know that when people come to look at it they scratch their head and go hmmmm. Lol. I will try to post some pics of this stuff later on. I need to delete some stuff 1st. No more memory to take pics....dagnannit it just started raining...

Thank you Mark. This pool set up is 45 years old. There is only one pump which is a single speed original pump. There is a pipe that has a hole cut out on the lower side that my boyfriend thinks is the spa bubbler pipe. It comes out of the ground not really attached to anything. It is by the...

I think ours is plummed that way too. There i s a pipe on the equipment pad that has a cut out hole at the bottom edge. My boyfriend said he thinks that is the bubbler pipe. No bubbles from pool returns only spa returns.
