    Will larger pumps damage pool equipment?

    I will let others give a definitive answer but im calling Bull on that as there are many here with 3HP vsp the point of vs is not having to run it full bore 24/7

    How to determine Hayward Perflex EC Filter Model - EC65a or EC75a?

    My best guess would be to start looking for part numbers on the internal pieces and track those backwards

    Optimal settings for pump

    As stated above you start as low as possible and adjust from there, mine runs 3 diff speeds 24/7 because thats easiest for me, my speeds are much higher than most because whoever did the plumbing on this pool when built was not the greatest so it takes some speed to run all my returns and...

    New Pool Owner... Correct Valve Placement

    I hope your landlord is like mine!! I get free run of the pool and I even convinced her to fire the pool guy in 2015 [emoji23][emoji23] If so, you will have a MUCH easier time having free reign. All my landlord does is if something breaks, she has it fixed but at my recommendation...

    Leak at pump connection ...

    Thanks!! Ugh of course it is just laying there going to nothing and I assume that is what it is even if it is discolored [emoji849][emoji849] And this is why I tell my landlord to let me handle it instead of the people she calls out [emoji23][emoji23] Christina Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leak at pump connection ...

    Lol I get you :) no, I don't see it causing real issue except the slow loss of water which isn't a big deal for me. We have super high pressure and suction anyway and this does not affect it. Maybe I will have her call the normal plumber instead of the pool guy who (as you can see) sliced &...

    Leak at pump connection ...

    I can do it :) she lets me have pretty much free reign with the pool (awesome landlord). She trusts me with pool stuff.. IF this house was mine, that equipment would have been replaced a LONG time ago lol I have never "plumbed" in that capacity so I just need to know what to buy and what...

    Leak at pump connection ...

    Need some help :) I am pretty handy when given instruction and I would like to take care of this leak. Seems like there is always a leak with this old equipment lol Last year, I had contacted landlord and she had someone come out and redo plumbing so I can at least backwash now but of course...

    2650 sand filter pump :/

    Got the backwash hose and clamp done... Apparently I wasn't thinking and bought a vacuum and 1 1/4" vacuum hose but of course can't hook it up because nothing could be easy for me lol Found some kind of adapter on Intex's website and ordered that so now I have to wait unless anyone has any...

    2650 sand filter pump :/

    So fixed the leak this morning just by turning the hose around (weird). All the O rings were in place so it was odd. Once my son gets home from summer camp I am going to make him hold a bowl and cut out for the larger pieces. I think that would put less pressure on the hoses. Gotta go find a...

    2650 sand filter pump :/

    Thanks linen ... I may attempt at cutting the wall tomorrow to put the regular fittings on. Bungee cords I have plenty of lol I will take that hose off tomorrow. Do you think that since I dumped the chlorine in and CYA, I would be ok to shut it off tonight and fix in the morning? Sent from my...

    2650 sand filter pump :/

    So in the process of getting my pool squared away. I bought this pump and took it out of the box today and hooked it up using the adapters to connect to my pool instead of cutting it. A couple of issues.. 1. There is a leak from a hose connector that runs from the prefilter side to the sand...

    2650 Sand Filter

    I purchased this last week and it is still in the box while I get my pool cleaned and releveled out. The plug on the outside of my house is no longer working so I will be replacing that. The housing unit that covered the receptacle (with the weather proof lid) would not fit the plug that came...
