The Filter valve ( on top of the tank ) has a multipart gasket inside it. That gasket has been damaged. It needs to be replaced as water is now not being restricted to outflow within the return port... there is now water bypassing within it to the waste port. The gasket is designed to keep the water only within the port required for the position the valve is placed in.

On the filter valve near the handle, you will see a Part number. That will provide you access to a diagram for that particular valve, Then locate the gasket within it and replace it.

SOURCE: My pool pump is 2 months old. It is a Hayward 1hp

The capacitor is probably bad. It's under the cover on the side of the motor, Take a look and smell it. A motor shop has them, or Grainger

SOURCE: is the Hayward s210 pro series 21" top mount above

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.


32' round by how deep? Flow rate is how you size a filter so with total gallons you can calculate how many per minute will add up to the whole pool being turned over is 6-8 hours. The pump and filter are then sized for that required flow...Assuming the pool is an above ground ~4' average depth then total gallons would be about 24,000 gallons. For an 8 hour turnover you would need about 50 gallons per minute. The 210T, T for top mount, is designed to handle up to 44 gallons per minute and turn over a 21,000 gallon pool in 8 hours or a 26,000 gallon pool in 10.

What that basically means is that using a 210 on a pool 32 x 4 would be pushing it. It will work but you will end up backwashing more frequently which raises the overall cost of running the pool. If it is not to late a 24" filter would be better; especially if you have periods of time in your pool season where heavy amounts of debris such as pollen get into the water. A 21" filter won't handle any over a normal filtration load.

My hayward sand filter pro series is leaking from where the water come when you back wash? Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.


You need to replace the gasket inside the valve to stop the leak. The gasket kit is pretty cheap and not too hard to replace. We can try to get you the part number if you can post the valve brand and model. You should be able to call any local pool store with the brand of filter and get the part you need without any trouble.

Water runs out the backflush hose when filter set to filter setting.

The rubber gasket under the function selector has probably come loose and is leaking to the other outlets. You'll have to cut the water off from both sides and remove the top to inspect the gasket.

Doesn't seem to be travelling around the pool as good as it originally did. it is approx 15 months old

I have owned 2 phantoms over 5 years. Most likely the problem is with the hose. The Phantom's hose will invariably need repairs over time. The hose swivels break and leak causing the pressure to drop. Even one leak will cause the cleaner to slow substantially.

The pressure gauge that came with the cleaner is very helpful. It will tell you if it is a pressure issue or the cleaner itself. Check your hose swivels and joints to look for leaks. Next check the filter screens (one near wall and one in the back of the cleaner). Finally, look at the hose's connection to the wall. The culprit is likely one of the above hose related issues.

Be sure it is not plumbed backwards and be sure you got a sand valve as a DE plumbs the other way.

When I turn on the machine, it begins to fill with water. Water then (before the machine would be full) pours out of the tray area where you add the HE detergent. Anyone know a potential fix?

The leak is due to a clogged, small, plastic screen filter located in the cold water hose attached to the back of the washer.
Remove the filter, clean it, place back in hose and reattached hose to washer.
To make the process easier, you can also place a hose filter in the end attached to the cold water faucet so that you don't have to pull the washer so far from the wall.

Check/clean that strainer/filter several times a year.

Thanks!!

I have a hayward s200 sand filter. When I vacuum, i backwash but dirty water doesnt seem to backwash out, just clean water. When I turn filter on small amounts of dirt you cant see come out of jets and re...

Are you using the rinse setting for a few seconds following the backwash? If not, once you finish washing, stop the pump, change the valce to rinse, then run it about 3 to 5 seconds. Shut down then switch to filter and the particles should stop coming back to the pool.

No water coming out when I backwash. I cleaned

water level must be about the discharge (eyeball) in the pool to back wash. Check the hose connections to make sure that hoses off the the filer head are going to the right place Look for the words "Pump" , "pool" and "waste" molded into the valve. I've seen it a number of times where "Pump" and "pool" were connected the wrong way.
