Hayward Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

the rinse setting only cleans out the dirty water in freeboard and pushes sand to pack it. just about impossible for it to not work. if there is water coming out the discharge, you are golden.

there is a relay on the back of the main circuit board that has separated from the circuit. you can resolder this relay quite easily by removing the board. DANGER: be sure to cut the power to the control box at the main breaker. turning off the breakers in the hayward box will NOT eliminate the power

The first hint i would suggest is only turn selector in clockwise direction always. not to insult but you must have pump off during selectiong. Now, The ball valve sounds like it is out of alignment. because of wear, from going back and forth not rotational. you can check for alignment by checking to see if you have any flow coming out return nozzle into pool. There should be none during backwash. pressing the handle down unlocks rotation, so if you are handy remove selector from top of filter, then check motion as you move selector. I have used o ring lubricant to lube parts in selector. BEFORE DISSEMBLING NOTE POSITIONS OF BALL Inspect how the push down to rotate function. If lubing is no help creating smooth rotation you may need to replace assembly.

That particular swimming pool light has a power-cycle feature that allows you to change the way your light illuminates your pool simply by turning it off and on. A strobe like effect is one of these power cycles. To change it, simply turn the switch off and then turn it back on within 10 seconds. It should reset to another cycle. It is is left off over 60 seconds, it resets to the first cycle, which could be the strobe. If cycling doesn't solve the problem, your bulb has probably malfunctioned and you are going to have to have a repair tech service it.
