    Hayward Perflex (EC40) small amount of DE in pool

    Interesting to see if you get rid of the problem, I'd like to know. Please tell me a little bit about your solar roof top. Do you keep you pool open all year or just for the summer? I'm almost finished building a Solar power generator (3.2 Kw). Thanks, Henry.

    Hayward Perflex (EC40) small amount of DE in pool

    Now that you mentioned it I did see that on mine too and I took it off, I applied the same logic. Have you put it back yet? Let me know if it works. I'll find mine when I reassemble the pool filter for the new season. I live in NJ and I take everything off. Thanks, Henry.

    Hayward Perflex (EC40) small amount of DE in pool

    Robo Kleen only goes in one directions while cleaning

    This machine just started going in one direction, when hits the wall It just sits there until I push it or I rotate it to go the other direction. Very annoying having to babysit it. Thanks, Henry.

    Best pool cleaner for above ground?

    I've been using the Robot Kleen for a number of years and they do a great job, they don't climb wall it's just for the bottom. The one I bought was used I just wanted to see if it'd work on my pool because it's deeper in the middle. Sometimes it kind of stalls on its way up but then it reverses...

    DE leaking into pool when pump starts

    I've been having this problem since last season. I see DE or some kind of dirt at the bottom of pool right after I start the pump. I've taken the fingers out and examined them for tears and why not, but I see nothing obvious. I also checked the gasket and lubricated it to no avail. I have 3 sets...
