Wow, it's hard to imagine how that series of events could have happened in sequence... bat, hose pop, drain then breaker. hmmmm... I would just concentrate on clearing the lines, adding water and testing the pump.

First check your breakers and GFCIs, it's likely one of them may have blown before damage occurred.

I have a question regarding your Hayward return connection. I understand that these returns are 1-1/2" threaded straight through, and most of the connectors I see getting used are pipe nipples or other barb adapters and I assume these are tapered threads. Is it possible to thread a tapered...

I am curious what make and model your sand filter is...

Use Silicone grease. You can find it at the hardware stores, also called plumbers grease.

It's awesome, I got it for $100... I took it all apart and cleaned it up, added new sand and it's running nicely. The sound will take some getting used to and the motor seems warm to me. Is there a way to bleed the air from the system?

Thank you!

Greetings! I am running out to Look at a used Hayward Sand Filter and Pump (1HP). I am hoping to find a few key things to check for to make sure it is still operational. It was used to filter a 24' AGP and I have a 22' and looking to upgrade from the Intex Filter pump I have. I have no...

Vacuum to waste ought to do it...

Bring it inside.

That is very cool... thanks for the pic.

Greetings! I am curious to see your pool/spa, sometimes I refer to mine as a "big cool spa" because all the adults just sort of hang on the edges. Please post pics... if you don't mind. Thank you, and welcome!

It is just three landscape timbers, with white lattice. I have had to add a 2x4 between the posts since this pic, but it still up and we love it. Behind it was just 3 foot chain link and we needed to break it up a bit. Loving the pool this summer!

I don't use a skimmer, because I found that unless you run the thing constantly it will do little good. Most of the time I spin my pool, along with netting and an occasional vacuuming. Once a week or so, I will leave the pump on for maybe 6 hours and add the sock. I love it!

@CaOCl2 Thanks so much for the quick response after my delivery concerns. Considering the challenges from your server and the holidays involved, shipping could be considered pretty quick, actually. Got it yesterday. :goodjob:

I usually test in the morning and evening, and add chlorine as needed. There is a daily dosing of chlorine, and adding chlorine "up to shock level".

I wanted to share a tip and give credit to the member that pointed me to Duda deisel, but couldn't find the original post. I bought two of the 14"x4" 1 micron Polyester filter bags for really cheap ($3.50 or so) and my water is crystal clear now. I used to have water that was "a little cloudy"...

Just try the return first, you will learn what you can and can't do replacing that one.

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum Jimmy! How long does it take to get a CPO cert?

I believe the "safe muriatic acid" is not recommended for your pool. post317482.html#p317482

I suppose if you didn't have a need to replace the inside piece, you could try a soft rimmed bowl and hold onto the thread outside (retaining the inside piece). I did see how this could be possible, but i needed to replace both inside and outside. Good Luck!

I replaced the return valve (higher one) by just being prepared (and quick!). It's a good one to practice on because there is less pressure on the higher valve. I did it because my new valves with my replacement pump (2500gph) did not have the plastic debris screen over it, I needed an aerator.

congrats!! and welcome! I would love to see your pics, I have fine particles that bug me too.

Re: Just had to drain more than half, because TDS was over 2 Make sure you have entered your gallons at the top. And the little app at the bottom is very useful too!

I am using more too. I use 12.5% liquid chlorine and sometimes add two cups in the AM, two cups in the evening. But, we use it all day long, splashing and aerating... -Bill

Re: Just had to drain more than half, because TDS was over 2 Once the water is balanced, Liquid Chlorine.

Nope, CC of zero is ideal. Higher than .5 means you need to go to shock level.
