HOW TO: Get PVC Pipe Under Concrete?
I show and easy way to get PVC pipe under concrete for installation of wires, cords, etc to pass under concrete. This is for a short distance of pipe, like about 5 feet. It might work for longer distances if you have soft dirt or it has been raining recently and the ground is soft.

Replacing a Display on Hayward ProLogic
I tried to take out that cover to the capacitor tonight after removing the 2 screws and it would not budge by hand. Should I just tap it out with a rubber mallet or is there a latch somewhere?
Yes you can tap with rubber mallet to break loose. Then remove capacitor from cover with a screwdriver.
Have 81 error
If it's a heat pump and the fan is not coming on, it may be a failed compressor capacitor. I didn't find code 81 online, but found some information related to this. Otherwise call Hayward's tech support for more help. Thanks.
What did you do sell your soul to the pool devils I never spend less than an hour trying to get that damn manifold cover back on and to line up with all those holes I always end up almost breaking something cause it’s gets me so frustrated. Hate DE filters.
Ha Ha, that makes me laugh. I remember when I didn't know the pattern, but now that I know it, I can't un-see it and do it a different way. 10 minutes now tops to put the grids and manifold back together once they are clean. Enjoy! And no, I didn't see my soul, it's safe with Jesus! :)
Good info but 3 1/2 min on a bushing?
Glad it helped!
Sir, THANK YOU I was on the verge of a nervous break down because i could not figure it out even though I had done it before. After 2 hours I gave up and came to RUclips. Definitely wish I had done it sooner.
Excellent, consider a SUPER THANKS!
Do you also have to open the air on the pentair’s filter gage when the valve is in UP POSITION or the gage has to stay closed ? Thank you
Keep the air bleed gauge closed.
Alright im done with comments i have around 117 customers a week 👍.. im not saying where but i can be found in killeen tx.. name is jim 👍
Thanks Jim, keep those customers happy and you will keep growing!!!
A leak is worse than mustard. An yes in texas this yr was bad on mustard. An chlorine won't kill alone. But nxt yr yellow will be illegal An won't be able to use... but this guy used 3 bottles? I've seen worse no offense my friend... 1 cap full to treat 10 tho gals... but nice one on the 3rd day.. mine cleared up over night 👍
Cool
Finally 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yep!!!!
Thank you for the detailed video. Now all I need are the parts? I am having difficulty finding the 30” elements. Any advise would be appreciated
The grid sizes are 24, 36, 48, 60 or 72 sq ft. You probably have 60's if they are 30 inches tall. To verify your size, measure the height of the grid, if it's 18 inches tall you have 36's. If it's 24 inches tall you have 48's.
Excellent info, Thanks.
Thanks!
I'd like to put a vacuum together, do you Instuctions?
I don't have any written instructions, just watch the video and you can see how.
Thank you. So grateful for the detailed video. I’m pretty sure you saved my marriage. LOL!!
You are welcome! Consider a Super Thanks!
You are a life saver my friend!

Does the blown out gasket cause the pump not to prime?
No, that should be an issue around the pump
Is the glue product number 82190? And whats the working time? Im afraid it mat dry too fast?
Use super glue
I replied
is that glue the 82190? also, what is the working time of the glue? Im afraid it might dry too fast?
I usually use gorilla glue gel, but I have used other fast setting super glue also and that works too.
Good to go
SUPER THANKS💯
Thanks so much!!!
How many floor return pairs in one pump motor
Usually about 6 pool returns in each pool. A floor cleaning system usually has a separate pump to run the cleaning system.
where did you get the check valve and the filter??
Bought it online.
awesome
Thanks
the interesting thing about the Omni Logic is that it combines the antenna with the control unit...not a great thing...especially when you use wifi and you need locate the unit in a hard to reach spot to get enough reception (50% or more) to keep a steady connection...kinda hard to access the control when it is 7 ft off the ground or higher
I have seen some people put the OmniLogic high on the wall
it takes 10x as many words ( and 4 times the steps) to explain putting the system into pool or spa mode with a Hayward Omni Illogical. than with Pentair and Jandy systems and Hayward's claim to fame is making something simple, difficult. It's the Common Math version of pool automation!!!
I'm explaining things in the video, but the service side setup of the Pentair is much more complicated than the Omni, the Jandy is not bad but still irritating to me.
may want to use a non-conducted material as a pointer sir
Good point.
got it
Great video, thank you.. Do you have any recommendations of chemical brands or what order to add them? I’m in Texas and my pool was just built so I’m new to this chemistry project, thank you
Balance pH and calcium, then get your chlorine residual going, might have to add CYA for a new pool to shield chlorine from sun burn off. Keep pool running 24/7 at first while balancing everything.
See my reply.
What worked for me is tape the threads then put paste on tape lots of it and then screw the fitting all the way in to where you can barely fit a finger to touch the threads.
Thanks for that info.
This has been so frustrating for me and I’ve spent so much time and money and it won’t go away. I’m going to try this but I’m confused about vacuuming. Do I need to vacuum before adding the treatment or after or both? Also am I supposed to vacuum to waste? My cartridge filter is covered in this gunk so do I need to clean that first?
Clean your cartridge filter, you don't have the option to vacuum to waste on a cartridge filter. Use yellow treat and shock, in a rate of 2 pounds of shock to 1 cap of yellow treat. For heavy infestations you may need multiple bottles of yellow treat. Can also install a pool RX cartridge to help after cleaning the filter.
@@truelightpoolsllc4441 thank you so much! I will try this today. I enjoy your channel and have subscribed!
@@thatsabundant7678 I appreciate that and glad to help.
Do you know how to clean yellow algae that is embedded in my colored pool?
If it is not killed and removed by yellow treat, shock and even a pool RX cartridge, then the plaster is probably stained and the discoloration will not come out.
I have an autofill that is leaking at the area where you screw the float valve screws into the female receptacle in the ground. Pretty sure there is some threading damage on the female, but its in the ground so not easy to work with. Any thoughts on how to fix that other than cut the entire autofill out the ground and replace it?
The horizontal floats usually come in two parts, so you could use pvc cement to glue one into the female threaded part. Then if the float needs to be replaced in the future, just disconnect float part and replace that, the threaded piece will not have to be replaced.
i am at a loss with trying to remove mustard algae. i have about 30,000 gallons. i used 4lbs yellow out with 4 lbs of super powder shock. i vacuumed on waste the following day. 48 hours after treatment, i thought i had gotten rid of it like the store advised me. by the 3rd day, the algae started to appear in the same spots. i used another round of yellow out and shock. by the 3rd day again, it started to show up. this is a saltwater pool with a sand filter. i noticed the flow from the waste on the filter was not a steady flow, water was shooting out in pockets of small blowouts. is that from air getting in the waste line or loose pipe? i decided to change to backwash to see if the flow was any better and it was. i forgot to put in on rinse and when i put it back on filter mode, all this brown/yellow crap entered the pool. probably because it has been 4 weeks since i last backwash/rinse the filter. i have been vacuuming on waste so there was no need to backwash/rinse. seeing all the algae shooting out of the return lines in the pool, do i need to change the sand? it is 4 years old. any suggestions? do i double the amount of yellow out/shock to 8 lbs to super shock the water? Thank you
I recommend using yellow treat product, not yellow out. I usually use a rate of 2 pounds of shock to 1 cap of yellow treat in the summer months. I usually see people not using enough yellow treat and shock. If you have a heavy infestation of yellow algae, you may have to increase the dosage amounts. Also can use a pool RX cartridge to help with algae.
Tried this and it worked! Had to go to three pool stores the day before Labor Day to find the 25uf but my pool party for tomorrow is saved! Thanks so much. SUBSCRIBED!
Great job!
You saved us sooo much money!! August 31,2024 Thank you!!!!
Wonderful! Consider a SUPER THANKS.
My valve is in the up position and it’s still filtering, not backwashing. How is that possible ? Update: turns out my backwash valve (hayward) does in fact go down for backwash position. But thanks to this video at least I knew what the lock and unlock positions were. Anyway, backwashing done. Muddy water out. Clean water flowing. Thanks again.
The one pictured is a Pentair brand valve, so your Hayward one may be configured differently.
Thank you for this !
Welcome!
What’s that battery called ?
I talk about a capacitor in the video.
When my pump wasn't working my pool was still not turning green. But I use tablets with chlorine anti shock, anti algae for months. Now it rained for two days and it turned green really quickly I have put a new tablet but it's still not turning back to blue. Maybe it's too hot. Does it need more Chlorine with very hot weather ?
Needs chlorine and an algaecide like Yellow Treat to kill the algae. Usually get yellow algae after rains.
thanks! worked for me!
Excellent!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
I'm going to dislike this video. It's mostly showing before and after but not showing the process. And for that, I'm out!
I have other videos to tell you how to treat the yellow algae.
On 8/18/24, this video saved me a ton of money. The fix took 5 minutes and the part was $14 on Amazon. I’m guessing the pool company would have told me I need a new pump.
Outstanding! Way to go to fix it. Please consider a SUPER THANKS!
I got same thing but my ph is good also alkalinity
You can get yellow algae even if the other chemicals are perfect.
This video saved me from hours of trying to figure out to align the grids properly and I was able to knock it out in 15 minutes easy. Those notches where you lean the grid against to start was the key and everything just fell into place. Great tip there!!
Excellent!
Super glue? My pool company said never use super glue. It’ll cause a hardened buildup that will be impossible to get back out when you need a new gasket and would actually cost most to replace the entire housing.
You can remove it by scraping it out.
You're a God sent. Thank you!
Thank you too!
This is exactly what happened to me (brass nut disintegrated) and exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Hahaha Thank you I was just to go out and drain my pool in the storm lmaof
glad to help
Saved me $800 on July 26, 2024 - Thank you.
Great! Consider leaving a SUPER THANKS!
No kill, like ovah kill. Thanks for sharing your technique. Finally have a pump with a discharge leak just like this. Wish Hayward used a oring setup like on the Pentair stuff.
Cool
Great video. We tried this method into the top of our heyward top mount valve for the sand filter and it indeed worked!!! However the other day the male adapter broke inside of the valve system, causing a pretty large water issue in our pump room. I'm not sure if this had to do with the added silicone, using the method into the valve system or something else, but just wanted to share.
I haven't had any issues with adding the silicone, probably the fitting was overtightened, I have done that before and had an issue with the fitting.
Thank you very much. This video was very helpful and reassuring too.
Great!
