Thank you, very helpful!

Great thread, and in Virginia looking to keep in ground plaster pool open over winter given occasional polar plunges. Have Hayward Tristar VS pump which has setting to kick on below certain temp. Couple questions if anyone has experience: -does automatic cover ever freeze (we were advised to...

Thanks both! Will check those sites.

Question about lighting-looking at the Hayward LED color logic 4 light. SS or plastic? Is one light enough on side wall (38 x 18') or more? Thanks!

I didn't think so either. 6 feet. So may not be a huge deal to bump feet into them except for a few guests?

Quick drain question...I asked for channel drains to avoid having something to trip over but this is what got installed...are these channel drains and any issue? Thanks

Thank you both-for automation, do you need all same brand? Is automation not as popular as I would suspect? Basically wanting an easy way to maintain SWG, heat pump and lights. Maybe I am overthinking the automation piece.

Called local pool supply store listed on Hayward site and two issues came up: 1. They advised strongly against a cartridge filter saying it would be more maintenance than a sand filter. I thought getting the large 525 cartridge would be paired well with the large Tristar VS pump but she said...

Quick Update on Ordering Equipment (Hayward) from Dohenys who has in stock equipment. Looking to see if anyone thinks I need to change size/type of equipment (in ground, 38 x 18 ft): Hayward HeatPro Heat Pump, 140,000 BTU SALE $4,299.00 Qty...

Thanks so much, I was going to post asking for guidance on what Hayward products to purchase (Omnihub v Aqua Rite or Plus). Will check on that combo. Any specific Hayward filter or heater recs for a pool 38 x 18? Also, was thinking of purchasing equipment myself and having PB install to...

So quick followup...and thanks to everyone who has helped so far, much appreciated. PB says that in this area of NC, Hayward has service reps and typically quicker/cheaper for any repair issues (and said they have 3 year warranty also). Said Pentair is more $$ and harder to service here, but...

Quick questions about the heater...your gas heater is 400k BTU but the first post recommended a heat pump at 143k BTU. Have read some about each and the gas v. electric heater but confused about the big BTU difference. Just don't want to "undersize" the heater. Though the Ultratemp 140 is...

Thanks to you both for the great information (and appreciate the links to the other info as well). Pentair sounds like a winner, and I am planning to have my builder install the equipment not DIY so will make sure his install will work for the warranty, but sounds like it will. As for the...

Great forum and glad to have discovered recently. A bit overwhelmed with the choices of equipment but instead of going easiest route hoped to save some money by purchasing some equipment ourselves and have installed. Pool will be in eastern North Carolina, 38 x 18' with 3 to 8' depth. Still...
