My Hayward PowerFlo above-ground-pool pump came with no on/off switch?

What's up with that? Customer service is not available. Also, the cord is a standard three prong...I thought pool equipment had to be twist lock? Did I get jipped? Should I try to return this pump? I'm very confused.

Answer
Would recommend calling an electrician as they are up on all the local codes. Seems to me they are required anyway, as they are for a hot tub. There are possible safety questions involved here.

pool pump is leaking... help!?

Mark R

HAYward ec65... I took off the top to clean the fingers and put the top back on and after about an hour or two it was leaking water all over.... thought I had the rubber seal in the correct place but I guess not... how do I make sure I get the top back on so it doesn't flood my basement (again!)...

Now also the air release, peg thing leaks all over too... I hope to buy a new one of those.

Answer
The rubber seal needs to be replaced. Once they are removed they always leak. Order a couple from a dealer to have one handy. Need a new air release valve too. They loose their hold and shape over time. I hated having a pool. It was always such a hassle. No more just a simple hot tub. They can be a pain too!! It's all relevant isn't it.

the nearest pool center and if its old dont replace it with the same as time goes by the pump motors become more efficiant so ask about a new model with a more energy saving motor

Do you need a skim plate to vacuum an above ground pool?

Puck Dat

If not how do you vacuum

Answer
it depends on the type of pool you have. I use a portable Hayward pump with a filter on it to vacuum both my pool and my hot tub with when there is stuff in the bottom that needs sucked up. I do prime it for the pool and the hot tub when I use it but that to is mostly so I do not get water from my bromine in the hot tub in the pool. as my pool uses chlorine so I rinse it out each time I use it.
