Trying to figure out how to trouble shoot a communication error on this thing everything seems plugged in turned off breakers for 30 minutes and turned them on again same thing, what are my next steps?

So I placed a call to hayward and they said they would have the warranty department email me within 3 days to start the process but just want to make sure I didn't miss anything since they have no "technical support". aquarite pro model. Checked 240v between red/black wires. checked 120v...

My plaster will probably need replacing within the next year or 2 and I happened to run across an ad on one of the facebook groups for someone selling some pool tile mosaics 1x1. He has 840sq ft to sell and if I purchase them all I can get them for 4k. Reading thru here I know I can only use...

Best thoughts happen while drinking. Or at least the most random. Finished a shower install and was wondering why can't you do the same thing in a pool. Assuming the plaster is in decent shape why would putting some aquadefence or redguard down in 3-4 layers thick .4-.5mil thick. Mortar. Mosaic...

So installed a new pump a week ago everything seems great, got some rain in last night and I woke up to the pool half empty. Not sure where to even start. No visible cracks or anything like that filling it up now and I'll see if it drains overnight. Any advice or how I can test anything?

So i've changed out the pump shaft seal, the locking screw and the impeller. It still leaks from the top where the shaft seal goes. Changed out the shaft seal and it still leaks. Cleaned shaft itself and still nothing. Anything I can be missing? Thank you

So I have a 12yr old challenger pump when it works it works as a champ lately its been eating seals once a year but its no big deal since its toward the end of the summer when I mow the grass short and some of the clippings end up in the pool impeller ( i still can't figure out how) Anyway this...

Guess the pool timer died its an intermatic PF1102T and it is about 10+years old. Should I change out the whole unit or is there usually 1 thing that goes wrong related to the timer?

Trying to decide wether to repaint since paint is already peeling or should I do the whole deck with these Ordered just a small quantity to try them out feels great but since the pool is roman it does look weird on the half circles. Any thoughts or what paint is recommended to repaint?

Found a problem and the gasket/oring wasn't included in the kit that I bought :spiderman::spiderman::spiderman: Can't figure out what its called or if its available on amazon can anyone help its going onto a challenger 1hp pump its the gasket attached to the motor on the pic below Can't find...

So before I can fix the shaft seal that might be leaking and after the tons of other stuff i've done already and the fact that the pool hasn't been run in 6 days and counting now. The knob on the band assembly gets stripped out!! kept turning and turning so I grabbed a pair of pliers to try to...

So fixed the impeller screw coming out by buying new impeller and screw it does't come out anymore. Now pool pump leaks. Somewhere between 1 and 2 when I fill up to start it up it starts leaking. Never leaked before is there a seal between them? or is it the pump itself that's leaking? Thanks...

Pulled the capacitor and called a local store based on my description they said its a week out :mad: So trying to interchange it online. Found one on amazon that's similar but its 240v while most of the other ones are 370v not sure how to tell which one this is. found this online...

Noticed this when I got back into town. Filter dropped to zero and air is coming out of return eyeballs and is inside the clear thing in front of the pump. It was fine about 3 days since I left for business. So process of elimination. 1. Checked skimmer, just a few bugs not clogged. 2...

I think they put in the skimmer to the wrong location. I changed all the eyes to the circulator eyeballs but the pressure is less on the eyeball opposite right corner of the skimmer so it falls out of sync with the other 2 and messes up the circulation causing my 2 dead zones. Next I tried...

It was very cracked and looked bad guess first time in 12yrs it was done. Anyways I can't seem to get the old backing rod out will I have any issues if I leave it in and put new backing rod on top and caulk it?

I keep messing with the skimmer to try to change the settings or mess around with it. Let me know if everything is ok or if anything I can do: Water level about halfway into skimmer maybe a little more. Skimmer basket cleaned every few days never fully full or close to it. Skimmer float on the...

Pool was running great for past month now I come back after 5 days away and both skimmers and jammed ( the pool one and the one attached to the pump) I clean both of them and fill water into the pool one and turn it on everything seems fine but no water is coming out of the pool side and the...

Installed new pressure guage and changed out filters after getting the pool clean with the old filters. Old ones were at 2psi and so are the new ones? What should they normally be at? Waters flowing cleaned pump basket and skimmer not sure why its so low.

Was about to start filling the pool up for the first time but noticed that I had some standing water from some rain earlier. Looks like its either not draining or idk if it should be with pool pump off. (first time pool owner) Both drains are full/caked at the deep end of the pool. Pool hasn't...

First house first pool etc. Had a company come out and drain and pressure wash pool and epoxy paint ( forclosed house 3+yrs of algae ) They are coming to repair a diverter valve as well. They said in there experience the inline chlorinator is useless and they recommend the floating dispenser...
