I have the hayward S166T sand filter. I set it to filter to filter the pool, but all this water is flowing out the bottom of the machine. Is that supposed to happen or did I connect something wrong? I have the owner’s guide, but it is very confusing. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I had a pool built just 2 years ago. My spa is not generating any bubbles or jets as it was the first year. It has a Hayward pump to filter both pool and spa. This was highly recommended by the builder. But now, my pool cleaner guy cleans the filter every week so the spa can get some pressure. He says that he wouldn’t have bought a Hayward pump. Also, said he would have another pump for the spa. I don’t know anything about pools and want to learn, so I don’t have to second guess everyone in the pool business. I don’t have money to burn like some friends of mine that just keeps paying a pool guy to fix everything for them.
I would like to do it myself and save my money.
any comments or suggestions are welcomed.
thank you in advance.

My pool vac will not right itself. When ever it flips over I have to manually turn it back over. I just had the P.O.S. rebuilt. When it does hold the bottom the suction seems good. I need help before I go crazy..The vac only goes a few feet before flips and stays there for me to upright it..

Hayward Super II Pool Pump runs on low speed even when switched over to high speed. Is there a switch in the back of the motor that controls the speed? I can force the speed to go to high by switching the wiring on the back of the motor so the motor is ok.JandyAqualinks controls timer and working ok.

We are thinking about buying a Hayward Heat pump that runs on electricity. We looked into buying a propane heater but would cost us $1000 per yr. for propane. We live in ohio so we want to make our swimming season longer. We’ve heard different things about heat pumps but would like to know if they really work from someone who uses one, would like to keep the water temp. around 85 degrees. We have a 33 ft. round above ground pool.

Tried backwashing it 4 times, twice with sanitizer, which is no easy trick cause I’m in the middle of the block and have to back wash into the street-so far no one has said anything. A lot of dirt is coming out. Should i just keep backwashing?
