Hello. For years I’ve been dealing with air getting into my system after about 10 minutes of vacuuming. (At worst the pump basket water level gets down about half way but never lost prime) I changed everything including the vac hose, pump cover seal, etc. Today I decided not to use the closest...

Hello I have been manually vacuuming my inground pool and I continually get some air intrusion. I have 2 skimmers and 4 returns in the main pool plus 3 returns in the swim- out ( seating area) that I can close off. After about 10 minutes or so it starts getting air in the system and I’ve tried...

Hello just a few basic questions regarding my salt generator. When I backwash I usually turn off my salt generator and heat pump. is this necessary? Also when manually vacuuming the pool I turn both off. There are times when some air gets in the system and I see some reduced water flow so don’t...

Good morning My heater has been turned on for one day. I noticed the pool water level drop at least a half inch. The humidity here on Long Island is in the 80’s now. For a week without the heater running I didn’t see any significant water loss. Is this normal heater usage? could something within...

Hello I have an above ground pool pump I am using in my built in pool for a water feature. I just set this up and find it’s not turning on. I checked the switch and outlet that controls it and power is going to both. I opened up the pump expecting to see a capacitor but I don’t see one. See...

Hello being in NY I have always covered my heat pump but I made large round holes in 3 sides so the cover didn’t trap moisture. Basically just protecting the top and front panel. Is this a good idea or is it better to leave uncovered? I ask because I’m thinking of replacing the cover thanks

Hello I have a hayward heat pump heatpro 21404t. Could someone tell me just what size winterize rubber plug I need? I bought 2 3” plugs number 14 but they are too large. Thinking 2.5” but would like to know for sure Thank you

Hello is it ok to leave the railing for the built in steps in the anchors over a NY winter? Cover would slip under the railing. Thinking the less I have to remove and put back in will extend the life of the anchors in the pavers. The pool ladder in the deep end I would still remove as it would...

Hello all a couple of days ago after vacuuming the pool I noticed my Hayward heat pump along with my Resilience chlorine generator Model: 305PX has stopped working. Heat pump has LP error which may be water flow issue. The salt generator has a blank screen ( direct wired to outside circuit...

Hello looking for a decent vacuum hose reel. 1 1/2” x 50’ hose. Possibly 40’. I need to check. I did purchase a 40.00: plastic hose reel but it was garbage and was too small thanks

Hello I lose about 1/2" every 2 days or so. I do have a crack in one of the return threads. Doesn't lose water when winterized and when returns are plugged. I do not see any bubbles but to rule it out can I plug the one return as it's 1 of two that go to the 6' wide steps. There is another...

Hello Setup my filter and pump. Usually I get a good stream of air before water at the top bleeder valve. Now it only trickles. Have good return pressure however. Thoughts? I hate to backwash in the first hour and will need to tomorrow because it's really dirty thanks to the Loop Lock cover Thanks

Hello I have a brand new Hayward heat pump in the garage boxed. I would like to keep it in the box until it's moved to the back yard. Question is does anyone know the spacing on the inlet and outlet water supply? I'm hoping it's the same as my old heater. 8.5" on center Thanks

Hello Having a bad pool year. First the SWG went ( 7 years old ) and now the heat pump. I believe with the SWG not working that the salt in the pool is collecting more dirt than what would normally be there. Have a bet with the wife so appreciate any feedback Thanks Waiting for beginning of...

Hello Trying to determine if my compressor is shot. 3 wires go to compressor unit ( wires with eyelets connections screwed into housing ) On the red wire which I think is the Common wire the silver tab is broken off. That wire was burned and separated. I put a new connection on it but...

Hello I replaced my fan motor and blade about a month ago. I was going to be given a capacitor but he only had oblong and I need a round one as it sits in a hole. Now I'm not getting heat into pool so I'm guessing the capacitor is bad. Both original capacitors were tested when I picked up fan...

Hello I have a current Aqua Comfort salt generator ( Resilience ) that is 7 years old. Cell went bad which is a SCC-40. Need to replace it with an A7 cell. Wiring is different. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks

Hello Hopefully I'm in the correct forum. My pool heater which is electric started yesterday and sounded like a very loud wood chipper. I quickly turned off the breaker. The fan was moving and I didn't see that it made contact with anything. The fan however did wobble somewhat on the motor shaft...

Hello all My cell is quite dark and after adding 10 bags of salt I'm only getting 20% readout on the salt generator. I will try to clean it with vinager but thinking maybe it's going bad. It's an AquaComfort AC- 400 I believe purchased in 08 or 09. Question is... Is there a replacement cell I...

My pool company has a pump cover with a hose fitting attachment through it to blow all the lines. Is this safe for the pump itself? Being a firefighter I know what can happen when air gets into a pump Thanks

Hello all I just had to order a new Hayward pump (SP2610X15). Had the old one rebuilt 2 years ago and it went again. I believe the problem was a constant drip from the multiport which I determined to be cracked (from day 1) Replaced the multiport apparently too late before it caused damage to...

Hello all I am having a problem with my salt generator and before I throw it over the fence maybe someone can help. The filter has been running 2 weeks now and the salt gen is showing a water flow alert off and on. One second it shows normal then I'll come back and check and its showing water...

Hello I have a company close my built in pool. They duct tape the open PVC piping to prevent critters from getting in . Has anyone found PVC caps that can be screwed on for a neater look? Looks like my male thread pipe size is 2.75 and my female fitting are 3.5". Has anyone done this? Thanks

Hello I hope I am not crashing this topic. Moved to a new topic. If it occurs to you to ask, start a new topic. Thanks JasonLion I have an Aquabot Turbo automatic pool vac. When it works without getting tangled in its own cord it works great. For those that don't know an Aquabot runs on low...

Hello My pool is 3 years old and I just had to replace my Hayward pump 1.5 hp. Several times a week when the timer starts the pool in the morning the heater will not come on, the circuit breaker trips. Could this be somehow related as to why the pump went bad? I was hoping the new pump would...
