Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club Thank you! I will look into those two models - spending less will be ideal:cool:.

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I have an above ground pool. Would this be too much of a pool cleaner for an above ground? I had purchased the Pool Rover 10 years ago and loved it. It finally broke and I bought a replacement two years ago and it just isn't the...

So we ended up replacing the filter. There were too many broken fingers. I guess 13 years was enough for this filter and we got our money's worth. LOL. Everything is running great now but we have to get our numbers up and get rid of algae. I have another small problem now but will start a...

Just following up. I ended up sending an email to Hayward and they said that I could buy the smaller filter. It actually is the replacement of the one I had. We purchased it on Amazon and it arrived in two days. It's now hooked up and everything is running great. I now have another problem...

I will purchase the larger filter. Thanks!

Hi. I need to replace my Hayward DE Filter. I currently have a Hayward EC45 DE Filter with a 1.5HP motor. The motor is fine but I have to replace the filter. I cannot find the EC45 model anymore. They sell the EC40 and the EC50. Can I use the EC40 with a 1.5HP motor? If not, will it work...

Is the return jet "the eye"? Sorry, I don't know all the terminologies. Thanks so much for your help!

I'm back. My husband checked and the filter is installed correctly. He did not take the filter apart because he couldn't find the plugs to plug up the pool to take the filter apart. We're going to have to go to the pool store to buy the plugs to do this before taking the filter apart. By the...

Hi Richard, My husband installs the filter every year. I don't think he installed it backwards but you never know. LOL! I will definitely have him check. Originally I thought I had algae. I shocked the pool yesterday morning and just checked the levels. They are still at shock levels...

Hi Everyone. We just opened our 24 feet above ground pool a few weeks ago. The water tested very well but for some reason, I am getting DE back into my pool. We've been vacuuming it up with the automatic pool cleaner and it's been consistently picking up the DE. This morning, I see DE in the...

I have a pool rover junior for about five years - just loved it. It still works but not as well so this year, I bought a new one. They changed it. It's not as good. It doesn't pick up like it used to and the cord tangles like crazy. It also doesn't move in the pool like it used to. My old...

Hi Crackerjack4u, That's a great idea about the clothes pins. I never thought of that and probably because I've never hung my clothes outside and forgot there were such a thing! LOL!!!! I think we're going to go with the uncovered pool again but will wait until the pool water falls below 60...

If there are anyone out there that closes their pool without putting on a winter cover, can you please share your process? I've had my above-ground pool for about 10 years now. When we first got it, we would do the normal closing with the winter cover on our pool. However, due to having a...

How do I set the filter to recirculate? I didn't think I can do that with my filter? Thanks.

We are having the same problems. We opened the pool with ALOT of algae - more than we've ever had. This was the fourth winter that we haven't covered the pool for the winter. This was a weird winter and had some 80 degree days in March. We kept backwashing our DE filter, but we keep losing...

Wow! Thank you all for your quick and honest replies. I guess I wasn't really thinking of myself when I said a "dry" slide. I wasn't getting on that thing. I like to lay on a raft and have my pool boy (hubbie) get me my drink!!! :-D We're not that creative. I'm not sure if I can doctor...

Hi. We've had our above-ground pool for six seasons now and have decided to finally get a slide. Does anyone have any suggestions or pictures they can show me? I've seen pictures of the Boomerang, but I'm not sure I have enough deck space at the location where the pumps are located. It seems...

dmanb2b, You hit it right on the mark! I wasn't getting any power to my outlet. Something happened to the outlet and it's not working at all. I had to run an outdoor electrical extension cord to get the pump working, so I guess I will now have to clal the electrician. I tried the circuit...

dmanb2b, Hi. Thanks for the very quick and speedy reply. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I'm at work and won't be able to check until tonight. I'm going to see if maybe the circuit breaker popped? Maybe some water got near the electric outlet and it popped? I'm hoping that is the...

This morning when we put the pool rover jr. into our above ground pool and turned it on, it started, rolled a couple of feet and then died. I checked the power to make sure the power was on and I also reset it, but nothing worked. Can anyone tell me what I should look for in regards to...

88 is perfect for me too, but my girls don't like it over 82 either. I guess the kids don't get cold like me! On another note: my heater has been (knock on wood) working consistently. So, no need to purchase a new heater this year. I do have to comment that my gas heater heats up the pool...

I have the Hayward H150. I have the same issue. When I turn the heater on with the low setting, it doesn't come on. However, if I turn the dial to "high", it does ignite. Hey, I'm just glad it works!!!!

I've been reading a lot of posts on how different people have their plumbing for their above ground pools. Alot of it doesn't quite make sense to me because I'm real newbie at this and seeing it is easier than reading it. Even though I've had my pool for 5 years, I've always just assumed that...

We bought a $6 laundry basket from Walmart. It has heavy duty handles on it. We tied this to the rack that goes across the back of the steps. We then put the stairs in the water. As it is going in, we throw in 8 bottles of bleach bottles filled with sand and topped with bleach. The stairs...

Thanks again all for your replies. I just wanted to update everyone on my heater. It is still working, so I think we'll save our money until next year. It does act up, but it works. For some reason, when we turn down the thermostat to the lower setting, it shuts off. However, when we have...

Thanks all for your replies. My BIL did get our heater going after working on it for a few hours. He replaced some of the wiring and filed down some of the contacts where it was rusted. The heater has been on since and our pool is a nice 82 degrees currently. I am going to turn it off today...

Once again, we are having problems with our Hayward H-150 pool heater. We had problems with it last year, had it repaired at $475 and then it stopped working again towards the end of the season. My BIL told me to order a part for it which I did and he replaced it today, but, I'm still getting...

Hi Neighbor! Yes, it did freeze solid. In fact, my youngest daughter wanted to ice skate on it. I told her absolutely NOT! We closed our pool like normal: disconnected all the pipes, put everything away, lowered the pool water to below skimmer, put on the skimmer cover and the eye cover for...
