Is it ok to replace my current sand filter (Hayward 220T) with a Hayward 244T? Will the larger size affect pump performance, etc. See my pool specs below. Thanks

This is the type of info I need. Thank you Bama and AGT.

My 23 year old pool is still in great condition. The Hayward sand filter is the original filter and still works well after all these years. Sooner rather than later it will probably need replacement. I have an opportunity to buy a used 2 year old filter - same make and model -for a very good...

I live in Florida where we are experiencing an early winter. My SWG is no longer producing chlorine because the water temp is too cold so I'm adding bleach the old fashion way. I have the SWG turned off but I'm wondering if it is ok to unplug the unit? I don't know if it draws any power while...

My 380 gets stuck as well. I've tried adjusting the climbing levels to no avail. I'd like to fabricate something simple and inexpensive before purchasing the Polaris guard.

Never heard of them, but will check it out. Thanks for the tip.

I've got the perfect round-ish pool brush and am thinking of making the handle and U out of PVC and gluing the brush into it.

I like that suggestion!

I'd just go with the clear patch. I've had my SWG 14 months and love it. No problems so far. I purchased the Hayward because the dealer is nearby and provides good service.

I would use a piece of vinyl at least 2-3 inches larger than the area that is protruding. That pool patch adhesive is very sticky and doesn't need much pressure to adhere. Any chance the previous owner left a piece of vinyl liner so you would have a nice match?

I'm thrilled. Returned after being gone 9 days and my pool was still sparkling. I didn't have a chance to put the solar cover on before departing but I did bump up the SWG output %age about 5 points. The neighbor said we had a lot of rain and the water line was almost to the top of the...

Thanks, I'll forget about the polyquat. I do have a solar cover. Didn't even think about using it because my pool is screened in. What is the advantage to using the cover - retain FC?

This week, I'm going on vacation for 9 days. Right now my pool is perfect, balanced and sparkling. It has been that way all summer (knock on wood)! The pump, filter and SWG are on a timer and come on automatically so the water will be circulating and chlorine will be generated. While away...

My CYA was over 100. So prior to the SWG installation I drained about 1/3 of the pool water 2 or 3 times (can't remember exactly) and that brought the CYA down to a reasonable number.

Here's info from Hayward that notes 1.45 lbs per day but they don't specify running hours, etc. http://www.haywardnet.com/inground/products/displayProd.cfm?ProductID=173

NWMN Mom Beats Driving to the Lake! With 10K lakes, there must be one around the corner! But I completely understand the convenience factor of the pool. I'll be flying waaay up north over the 4th to the UP of Michigan. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be warm.

Tiger85 - I've got the Hayward SwimPure Plus with the T-Cell 9 for pools up to 25K. Had it installed in May 2009 and love it. My pool is a bit larger than yours but this size unit is perfect. Here in Florida, I prefer to maintain a higher FC level. My average output % during our sweltering...

The product is a two step process using a liquid and powder. I've searched but unable to find what exactly each product contains. Anyone know?

My steps, ladder, and fittings looked very similar. I used the sock method to treat the areas and the results were excellent. I didn't lower the FC or PH prior to starting and didn't experience any negative results

no-mas and Brentr I cut my blanket in three pieces last year to make placement and removal easier on me but haven't bothered to put it on this year. The water temp is 78 degrees now. Stays about 4-5 degrees cooler since we had the pool cage built about 11 months ago. I'm itching to get in the...

no-mas What is your trick to covering and removing your solar cover so quickly? I can place it on the pool easy enough but it is a pain in the neck to dry, fold up, and store each day.

Jason and waste I was unaware the cell turns itself off. Although I live in Florida, we had a very cold winter and early spring, so the cell could have definitely been off for a long period. My water temp is just hitting 78 degrees. I appreciate the information.

I have a Hayward Swim Pure Plus T-CELL-9 SWG that is almost a year old. Up until November I was getting a flashing indicator to inspect the cell on a regular basis, approx every 3 months. According to the manual the reminder/flashing indicator will occur after approx 500 hours of operation...

Brentr Enjoyed the pics. Your pool is gorgeous! I love the pavers and extending them into the Florida room was a perfect touch.

Brentr My SWG is still off and today the FC is 10, so it's coming down. I've got the pump running 5 hours each day and like yours, the water is crystal clear. I think I'll try running the pump about 3 hours and see how it goes. This is my first fall/winter with the SWG and screen enclosure...

Temp is 66 degrees during the day.

The enclosure is all screen, including the roof. I don't have a heater so we stopped swimming a month ago. I'm sure you are correct that with the cooler weather and a few cloudy days the chlorine is not being consummed as quickly. I'll check the FC level every couple of days and will restart...

Current reading: FC = 15 PH = 7.5 Alk = 80 Salt = 3300 CYA = 70 My FC level has been high since mid October and after adjusting the SWG output knob down several times, I finally turned the switch off. The switch has been off for a week now and the FC reading hasn't changed. I'm using the...

Here's a tip if you have a small particle lodged between the blades and can't get it out. Use a pipe clearner. My dealer gave me the idea when I had a small seed or something similar lodged between the blades that I couldn't get out by spraying the hose.

We were on vacation a few weeks ago and the pool was unattended. The pump was on a timer and continued working throughout. While we were gone, there were torrential rain storms that filled the pool to the top and maybe over a bit. The water height stayed that height for about 5 days until we...
