This is great to hear. I'm going to add one to my paradise when they are restocked. Thanks for the info.

I've been interested in the Splash and Slam also but there isn't much info out there about it and it's never in stock when I think about getting it. There aren't any youtube reviews about it and it isn't sold on Amazon so there aren't many reviews out there that I have found. For that much...

I bought a Pentair Sand Dollar filter a couple weeks ago, replacing my Hayward S200 that had a crack in the top of it. The water has been dirty/cloudy ever since I installed the new filter. Vacuuming picks up the dirt from the floor, but the water quickly starts to cloud up while vacuuming...

Seems like every time I have a leak in my piping, either between my pump and filter or filter and return, I have to try a couple times to get my pvc piping to fit right. I thought about next time using flex pvc or the flex tubing stuff that you see used on the cheap above ground pools you can...

I got them from a sticky on this site a year or two ago and can't find them now. I could probably open it myself but the instructions might help me get it done quicker. Anyone know where they are located on this site?

If I thought I could do cartridge or DE for the same or similar price, I would. I haven't checked pricing, but was under the impression that those options would be much more costly.

Oh, not 100% set, it's just what I'm used to and I thought this would be the cheapest way to go. Should I be interested in cartridge or DE instead?

I have a 9k gallon inground, 3/4 hp Super Pump, 1.5 " piping. *People have recommended that I get a Pentair Sand Dollar filter, but all of them that I've seen say they are for above ground pools. Will it work for my inground? *If they would work, what size Pentair Sand Dollar filter do I need...

I currently have an old Hayward S200 that needs replaced, 3/4 hp Super Pump, 9000 gallon inground, 1.5" piping. The top mount filters are cheaper so I'm thinking about a Hayward S220T or a Pentair Sand Dollar, but I'm not sure if it will work with my setup. My S200 sidemount has an inlet...

Yes, I have 1.5" plumbing and I'm not sure how long the S200 lasted. I bought the house in Oct. '06 and it looked old then. Thanks for the replies. I'll look into the above suggestions. Anyone else have any input?

My old Hayward S200 sand filter has a crack in the top and leaks water, so I guess it's time to get a new one. It started leaking at the very end of last swim season, so I need to get something different before I open it back up in May. Should I replace it with the exact same thing or would it...

Mine was hard to get off too. I used a semi-heavy rubber mallet hammer, put on the octagonal wrench, and carefully hit the handle of the octagonal wrench. It took a little while but it finally busted loose.

Thanks for the response. Anyone else have any ideas from experience?

The concrete around my pool has cracks in it and the color looks blah (dirty, aged, etc). I powerwashed it and all that did was take off the top layer of grime, which looks better but I think there has to be something out there that I can do myself to spiff it up a little without tearing stuff...

Last year I noticed a little sand, but I am noticing more this year. What could be the problem? I have a Hayward S-200 filter that I have done no maintenance on for the two years I have lived here. I am also having problems with my 3/4 HP Hayward Super Pump. It is running very hot and...

My filter is a Hayward S-200.

I have a 9000 gallon IG, 1 1/2 " piping, 4 discharge eyelets. I currently have a 3/4 HP Hayward Super Pump but I need to replace it and would like to know if I should stay with the same or go down to 1/2 HP or up to 1 HP. I am not sure about the exact length of piping in the ground. Let me...
