How far can my filter be from the pool?

Swimming Pool FAQ
Above ground pool filters are designed to sit next to the pool and be below water level so that they are gravity fed. The farther a filter is placed from the pool the less affective it will be. If you are using standard equipment try to keep it within ten feet of the pool. For longer runs you should consider a larger HP pump. If the pool is in the ground and the equipment is at ground level I would go with an in ground pool pump.

How often is it necessary to backwash my pool filter?

Swimming Pool Filters
The frequency of backwashing will depend on many factors including the size of your filter, flow rate of your plumbing, and bather load in your pool.

How far can I sink an above ground pool into the ground?

Swimming Pool FAQ
Two to three feet is ideal.. Any more than that and you run a bigger risk of the pool caving in. You always want to make sure the water level is higher than the dirt. If the pool is to far into the ground and the ground around it gets to wet it could easily cave in. It is also a good idea to wait at least two years after the pool is installed before draining it. This give the dirt around it plenty of time to pack. Even then the pool should be drained and refilled in a day or two.

Why does my filter run at a high filter pressure and has reduced water flow to the pool?

Hayward Pool Products - Contact Us - Frequently Asked Questi...
A dirty filter maybe the problem. When the filter pressure rises 8-10 PSI over the clean starting pressure, it is time to backwash or clean the filter If there is algae in the pool, it maybe clogging the filter, keeping the pressure high. The filter cannot kill algae. Contact your Authorized Hayward Dealer for proper chemical applications. If the filter pressure continues to run high with reduced water flow to the pool, the pump may be moving more water than the filter is designed to handle.

Can I fit a UV or pool heater on the filter return?

BubbleBead Filters: UK filter wholesaler, tropical, coldwate...
UVs can be fitted into the return pipework from the filter to the pond, provided that the unit(s) can handle the flow without causing backpressure. It is safe for most UVs to run dry for the couple of minutes or so required for the backwash to take place, see the User’s Guide for further information. Most heating units are not designed to run dry and it would be better to run them in a separate loop of pipework that is constantly full of water.
