Hello, My inground chlorine pool was just built (8000 gallons) and I have a Hayward vs 900 Omni pump with 2” piping. what is the best schedule for my pump? The company set it up at 3300rpm for 4 hours, 3000 for 4 and 2500 for 4. Seems really high. I was thinking 3000 rpm for few hours in...

we bought a house with a pool and a Hayward gas heater. It is heating the water and seemed to be working correctly but about 1 hour after starting began making this clicking sound. https://streamable.com/ojbakt Is this just normal sounds or something wrong?

Hi all, just opened our pool and noticed there’s a slight drip from the top of my filter. I didn’t notice it until about 2-3 days of the filter running. It appears to be coming from the one bolt. I did make sure it’s tight. First year opening the pool myself, pool company cleaned the filter when...

Hello Everyone, Just discovered this site after converting to a SWG. Had the pool installed 14 years ago and had a real good run as far as everything holding up. Only issues were a Pump motor, 3 sets of pump seals and a heater digital control membrane (all of which I was able to DIY). Got 14...

I replaced my cell a couple of weeks ago with a brand new one. Right after I installed it, the K-1766 test (also a brand new replacement) indicated 2200 ppm, which was identical to the reading I was getting from the SWG. I shut it off, added 100 lbs. of salt, and 24 hours after turning my SWG...

For the third consecutive year, I find myself having to replace my filter pressure gauge. I’ve tried both OEM and replacement brands. Based on the review section of virtually every product I’ve looked at online, I’m not the only one. So...is there anything I can do to mitigate this, or is there...

I have an old (2004-ish) Hayward Aquarite T-Cell 15. Over the years I have replaced the boards, cells, displays, etc. My current challenge is a blown fuse.....not the 20amp fuse on the board, but the 2.5amp fuse on the mounted on the bottom of the control box (see photo with cap removed). I...

I am planning for future warmer days as Nashville is currently in the middle of a cold snap, as is much of the country. Our home has a ~30k gallon, salt water, liner pool with no water features. It has a non working gas heater that I want to replace and while I'm at it, I might as well update...

Hello, I got a 15' foot above ground pool. Most of the equipment is Hayward brand. My experience with pool installers here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada was not the best. I had to re-do my pool twice in less than 6 years. The outer metal rusted and a hole in the lining occured. Knowing what I know...

I have two Hayward ColorLogic 320 1.5" nicheless LED lights. They were installed at build in March of 2017. The first one failed in September 2019 and was replaced under warranty with $200 labor. (I had to go through pool builder for warranty). There was no water behind the glass. The second...

Hello TFP! Long story short I was planning on installing the Circupool RJ60+, but the Hayward AquaRite W3AQR15 went on sale for ~$900 so I decided to buy the Hayward. Now I'm looking for the help/suggestions/tips on installing it. Questions: 1. Right now I have an old intermatic timer that is...

We have a brandnew Hayward Powerflo Matrix 2 speed pump installed April 2020 by a professional electrician. Everything was working fine until yesterday when I noticed that the pump won’t work on High Speed. But it works on Low Speed. I’ve checked the pump basket and nothing is blocking it. No...

Hello all: We've been planning and interviewing builders in the Atlanta, GA metro since early spring. We've decided on our PB and have the 3D rendering in hand. We just want to make sure we're doing this right. The price is higher than we first thought. We're told it's because there is a...

I have a 4 year old H300FDP and recently ran into a SF error. I replaced the "Hayward FDXLTER1930 FD Thermistor" which cleared the SF code. When I turned the unit back on the symptoms are: Starts and fires for approx 3 seconds, then shuts off. It cycles through and does this 2 more times...

I just built a brand new in ground pool for the family. Finally filled it with water today and I can't get the pump to turn on. Nothing happens. I have it setup to a hayward aquaplus, using a 240v siemens qt 15amp breaker. I have even tried just connecting it directly to the breaker instead of...

My Prologic has started to periodically turn off, but the main display reads "Communication Error". The transformer was running really hot, so I tested the Ohms and it was slightly out of spec 2.9 and 3.3. As result I replaced the transformer. The problem is persisting even with the new...

So I have a ton of Crud in the deep end of my pool that I'm trying to get out, because the pool hasn't been opened in the 3 years since I bought the home, and the previous owner was neglectful before that. So I've read a thread that basically says I should try to scoop it out with my leaf net...

I noticed a slow drip coming from a (union?) valve of my filter (I believe it’s the return port). Please see the red circled area in the pic. I’m also attaching a pic of the Filter - I believe it’s a Hayward s200. Should I attempt to tighten this nut? Just leave it alone? Replace it? It slowly...

Hi my pool is about 5 years old. When it was built, the installer put in low-voltage Hayward LED pool lights. They started flickering about two years ago and stopped working completely about a year ago and I'm having trouble figuring out how to replace them. The lights say they are Hayward model...

Hi, we installed brand new Hayward Pump, DE Filter, Multiport valve, 2 inch PVC pipes to replace our very old Waterway pump and PAC FAB DE filter. While this is our 4th season as pool owners, I would still consider ourselves newbies because this is our first year of doing everything by...

The drain cover/grate on my in-ground pool crumbled apart and I'm struggling with finding a replacement. The markings are fairly clear and reads "SP1048-C." The grate measures 6'5" and has 2 screw holes. It sits flush with the bottom of the pool. Since everything else was originally Hayward, it...

I just recently purchased this cleaner from Marina Pool Spa & Patio in Colorado. I thought I would leave my findings and reviews on this thread because I checked reviews and they weren't great, but were from 2019. I wanted something cool and modern with no filter bag, so I thought I would give...

Hi Guys, I opened my pool for this season last week. Today, I tried to turn the heater on to get ready for the weekend but guess what, the heater did not turn on. I am getting an 'IF' error code on the panel. When I try to turn it on, I hear clicking sounds but I don't feel it is burning the...

Hello guys, I am a newbie to the pool world. I have a hayward pump and the Jandy Valve seems to be pointing backwards (comparing to all the educational videos I have seen on youtube). Is this normal or should be fixed? should the handle of the valve be pointing towards the pump?

I was having trouble getting my heater going when I opened the pool for the season a few weeks ago. It was my first time opening the pool. A friend was able to help, so I’m confident I was following the right steps. I’ve owned the pool less than a year and the heater worked without issue for the...

I replaced my Hayward AC-035 peristaltic chemical feed pump. The way it runs is the voltage relay within the Prologic system controls the power to it. If you plug it into a normal jack it runs constantly and continuously feeds acid into the pool. The problem I have is I plugged it into the...
