    New quartz plaster startup advice

    I need some start up advice. We just had our pool re-plastered with a light blue quartz and it is starting to develop some streaks in the color. Nothing terrible yet but I just want to make sure I am doing everything I should be to make sure it will even out as much as possible. The plaster...

    Waterline Tile Question

    I may have answered my own question after reading more posts. Sounds like the consensus is that small tiles with mesh backing is a bad idea.

    Waterline Tile Question

    We finally settled on a plaster company to re-plaster our pool so now I am trying to decide if I want to replace the waterline tiles. We currently have blue 2 x 2 which are ok but they have some calcium build up that would need to be cleaned/blasted off so I am tempted to do new tile just to...

    Leaves in pool after re-plaster?

    Will having a pool full of leaves hurt new plaster(most likely quartzite) during the startup period? I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a re-plaster but I am a little worried because the only way I can keep leaves out of my pool this time of year is to run the cleaner every day. Per the...

    stain treatment or acid wash??

    The vitamin C test seemed to work I ended up doing an absorbic acid treatment and I am pretty thrilled with the results. Now I just have to get the fill water tested and if it has low metal content I will probably drain/dilute a significant portion of the water just so I can get it out of there...

    stain treatment or acid wash??

    I will try the vitamin C test tonight. I am sure that is what is in one of the packets in the "stain ID" kit from jacks magic. Basically has you test 3 different powders on the stain and identify which combination work best. According to the instructions the one that worked the best for me said...

    stain treatment or acid wash??

    My pool has some pretty severe staining. It was there when we bought it 3 years ago and it hasnt gotten worse but I am ready to get rid of it so I am looking for feedback on the best option. Several local people suggested I try the Jack's Magic stain removers so I bought the stain ID kit and...

    2 speed wiring help

    Yup, I was anxious to get it put in so I didn't even notice it was the wrong one until I got everything hooked. Sure enough though looking at the box it came in it says SP3215EE instead of SP32152EE like I ordered. The good news is I called the store and it looks like they are going to send me...

    2 speed wiring help

    Yeah taking a closer look at the name plate it is only showing a single RPM so I think they screwed me. Looks like I need to get in touch with the store and see if they can make it right.

    2 speed wiring help

    I am starting to think you are correct and the dealer who sold me the pump sent me the wrong unit and this is a one speed pump. The diagram does show an A but it isn't labeled as anything. My order receipt shows that I purchased a Hayward SP32152EE. That last 2 in the product name does indicate...

    2 speed wiring help

    Can someone help give me some details on how to wire a Hayward SP32152EE? It came with no wiring schematic and after a fair amount of googling I thought I had it figured out but I am still having a problem with the low speed side. It is replacing a single speed motor so I wired it like shown in...

    Heater Replacement

    Ok great. Thanks for the detailed reply. I hear you about buying online but the cheapest I have been able to find locally is about $1000 more expensive plus installation which I have a hard time with especially when the install seems to be pretty straightforward. I have one other local place to...

    Heater Replacement

    I have a Hayward IDL1 400k BTU heater that I am looking to replace. The reviews I have read on new Hayward heaters weren’t great and so after doing some reading on here I am leaning towards getting the Raypack 406k Natural Gas from the website below. (009219 on that site)...

    Hayward H400 IDL Problems

    Thanks Paul. I did end up getting that motor and it seems to have fixed the A0 problem. Now the blower kicks on full speed and seems to be operating correctly. Problem is now I am getting an ignition failure. The blower runs for 30 seconds or so, then the gas opens up for a few seconds but does...

    Hayward H400 IDL Problems

    After talking to my wife who was there when he came out she said he was actually very thorough with the diagnosis and that he was pretty certain it was the motor. She said he actually suggested I just buy the part and install it myself since it is basically just a few screws and a plug and it...

    Hayward H400 IDL Problems

    I had a technician come out and look at it today and he said it needs a new blower motor. Does that sound right? Unfortunately I wasn't there and since the appointment was for last Tuesday and he showed up today without calling I am not entirely confident in his thoroughness. The manual says to...

    Hayward H400 IDL Problems

    It definitely seems like the motor isn't spinning at full rpm but I wasn't sure if that was by design or if the motor and/or control board was bad. With the cover off you can see the shaft spinning but not at full speed until it tries to kick everything on and then it will ramp up to full speed...

    Hayward H400 IDL Problems

    Is there a way to tell when a heater was built from the serial #? I have an H400 IDL but after doing some research it looks like there is an IDL1 and an IDL2 version and they use different parts. There is also a cutoff date in 2004 where parts changed but I am not sure if that was the actual...
