    Hayward EC65 DE Filter Finger Tube Replacement

    You have to take the top off at least (13 screws) and then take the bump handle off of the shaft (1 bolt) and pull the shaft out of the top cover so that you can take the plates off of the shaft (a c-clip) get to the bolts holding the plates together (don't recall how many, sorry) that hold the...

    Trying to run pump 24/7, keep finding it shut off in the morning, not sure why

    I'm not familiar with your SWCG, do you have a flow sensor that may be shutting you down?

    What's the Benefit to a Variable Speed Pump?

    The answer is in the report you linked on page 1 in so many words. "The majority of the savings is derived from a variable speed pump’s ability to reduce the rpm of the motor, thus reducing energy use. A typical 1½- horsepower pool pump draws about 2,000 watts and runs at 3,450 rpm. Reducing...

    Guidance replacing O-rings and deep cleaning my Hayward S200?

    You may have the bolts too tight. They just need to be tight enough to stop the leaks. Not necessarily as tight as you can get them. That may deform the casing or gasket to the point that it can't do its job. I'm speaking from experience on my Hayward EC-75 DE filters. If I am speaking...

    Dolphin getting stuck

    I will post a picture of the modification I did to the unicover to make it work for me as soon as I can. I'm at work now. Essentially, I cut a hole in the center of the hard plastic center piece. It is not exact and I used MSpaint on a pic I found online, but this is what I did. I cut...

    Dolphin getting stuck

    They are somewhat heavy and rest on top of the current drain cover. I will add that my current main drain cover was too tall and I had to modify the unicover to make sure it rests on the bottom on the pool floor.

    Dolphin getting stuck

    I don't think it is ugly at all. It looks better than a partially cleaned pool because the robot tried to clean the main drain for hours. ;-) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SG7NQI

    Dolphin getting stuck

    I use a polaris unicover. You can get them for around $45 from Amazon. No more stuck robots for me. I've been using them for many years. I will add that they only last around 3 or 4 seasons (I'm on my third unicover this year). But it is cheap insurance to keep the robot from getting stuck.
