Anyone know the part# for the 9uf capacitor for hayward heater? This has the Jakel blower motor. Unfortunately I can’t read the part# on the old cap. The cap capacitance tested bad with my meter. I put in a 7.5uf cap I had laying around just to get by until I get the 9uf everything seem fine...

Noticed this T15 salt cell from Leslie's anyone have experience with it? I've seen a few generics online but always been concerned about the quality. I'm wondering if this one would be a better option. 1 year warranty is on the short side but even if I got 2 years at this price I'm even money...

Hi All- Has anyone seen a failure like this for Intelliflow VSF drive board? I believe PN 356880. It looks like one of the contacts either got hot and burned up or there was a failed component in the board that basically shorted this leg of the 220V and that connection was the weak link. No...

My T15 salt cell is gong out (after about 3.5 years) and its making me wonder how close the math is for SWG vs liquid chlorine? Seems like pre covid liquid chlorine would have been been the clear winner. With inflation and other things it seems like a lot of places want approx $10 for a gallon...

Having a problem with my pool pump. It’s a Hayward, TriStar VS 2.7HP if I recall. Went to clean the floor basket before the pump, after I finishing went to start the pump and nothing. Messed with tripping the breakers to the motor and Goldline Controller and it still wouldn’t work. The motor...

Just had to replace my pump and want to revise my plumbing between the pump and filter. Is there any reason I can't use the gray 2" conduit 90 sweeps for my plumbing? I guess I'm more worried if I ever go to sell my house if there is any sort of official code that would prevent this. All the...

Looks like the booster pump to my water feature died. At first I thought it was the cap since the motor was making a humming sound and not rotating. I opened the back cover and the cap was clearly bad and shaft spins free. I replaced the run cap with a new one same rating of 55uf and 450V...

Yo TFP nation- So I'm having a problem where my filter is full of air every morning. There was an extremely minor water leak at the bulkhead fitting between my filter shell and the union itself. I know these problems can be tough to nail down and wanted to be sure before taking the wrong thing...

It looks like our slide and waterfall is starting to need repairs. Is this something I could do myself? If so what would be the best method? I’m thinking I would need to pressure wash then drill some small holes to use cement epoxy to fill deep any cracks as much as possible then paint. I’m...

I need to rebuild the 6 port T valve for my inground cleaning. Should I replace the entire assembly or just the top gears and impeller? I shimmed with stainless washers to get me by a few weeks. Are these assemblys standardized or do I need to identify the original manufacture? We inherited the...

Got a Taylor K-2006 test kit. Is there any reason to keep the R-0005 and R-0006 bottles? I never use them and find that if I use pool math to figure out how much acid to add to the pool I'm always spot on. Am I missing something here? Seems to be just taking up room in my kit.

Need recommendation on LED pool lights. to fit a Hayward Astrolight enclosure. Would like to go with color changing but I've seen the Hayward ones are super expensive. What about these? but I admit I'm skeptical about the longevity by looking at it...

I need to do some touch up on my pool decking. It’s textured cool deck but what is the acrylic paint that is typically used? I looked at Leslies and they have “Smart Seal Patio Perfect” but it’s like $70 a gallon. The Desert Tan looks like an acceptable match. I was also in Home Depot and they...

None of my pool equipment/valves are labeled and it's driving me nuts. Any suggestions on a good label maker that can stand up to the UV and heat here in Phoenix? I had a cheap label maker that broke a few days ago and eventualy all the labels faded after a few months as well. Looks like the...

Still trying to get all the problems fixed from the prior owner (Hacks!). I think their kids knocked the remote AQL-TB-RF-PS-8 on the ground and the the LCD screen is cracked. Remote still functions but would be nice if I can read the screen. Anyone got a spare lying around? I may attempt to...

Hi from Gilbert- Loving this forum! Became a first time pool owner a few months ago before summer got into full swing. Fortunately everything has worked out so far. Previous owners were hacks and I've had to fix a ton of stuff, full dran pressure wash and refill, SWG not working, PS-8 solder...
