    Need help choosing new pump

    This pool is around 20 years old and came with the house when I purchased it 3 years ago... I've always thought this Hayward Super Pump 1.5hp was too big for the pool but due to $$ constraints I couldn't upgrade at the time 3 years ago... Now, this year, the pump motor sounds like a blender...

    Closing a "unique" IG pool

    I wouldn't have any idea who actually built the pool but the previous owner said she always had trouble keeping the pool clear......so I'm pretty sure she used pool chemicals and not BBB... In the 3 years that I have owned it, I have not had trouble keeping the pool clear with the BBB method...

    This being an inground pool the main drain suction line goes thru the concrete at the equipment pad and then underground directly to the main drain. Replacing it would be major concrete tearout and digging 10 feet down because main drain is in the deep end...9 ft. I was lucky with the suction...

    Time to start repiping Hi again TFP denizens. I'm reopening (or continuing) this thread because it's early Feb. and time to actually start repiping this project that I started in the fall. With advise from Mas985 I had decided to replace the suction side side piping with 2 1/2 inch because I...

    Off season upgrading

    There is an obvious seam half way up that bolts the two halves (upper and lower) together so it seems I have the S200. So, I'm going to have to see if a filter is in my budget also. Which ever way I go for now, it's obvious I'm going to have to replace the suction line to the skimmer because I...

    The dimensions I get on the filter are 23 1/2 in. wide (outer flange width) by 36 in. tall (base to top of air relief plug) which seem to be the dimensions of the Hayward S200 High Rate Sand filter (please correct me if needed) according to the Hayward documentation. The pressure normally runs...

    No SWG. It seems that the previous owner left all the equipment on the pad uncovered and unprotected all season long, which is one reason I have decided to replace all the plumbing on the pad. The other reason of course, as I stated in my original post, the plumbing design was very poor and...

    Off season upgrading

    I did notice a few champaigne bubbles coming from the returns every 5 or 10 seconds so when I replumb I will focus on making sure of no suction side leaks (again....more below). When I first bought this pool last Dec. (house came with it) I tried every trick I could find in this forum to...

    Off season upgrading

    Thanks for the advice so far. The reason I have asked about check valves is that when I shut off my pump there seems to be a lot water going somewhere out of the pump strainer pot. So much in fact that the pump will not reprime without adding water to the pot. Now a question about increasing...

    Hi TFP denizens, I've been learning in the background for over a year now and the first thing I would like to say is "Thank you to all for the wealth of info that you guys provide." I made it thru my first year as a newbie pool owner with very little problems except one small algae bloom...
