The unit heats up fast and is super quiet. It looks fancy ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxl8Od2BvnGbn1ffwqsuFXW0QnmcZgMiVY and can be kept in the living room. It gets hot within a split second of turning on the unit. The build quality is exceptionally good and is safe to be around kids and pets. This one is super quiet and can be kept on while in office meetings, my wife loved it. It shows the temperature right on the unit which is very useful and adding a rotating feature helps to heat up the surrounding, so other people will not fight with you for heat. It is right as described in the description..!! Definitely recommend!!
YOOO I’ve been waiting for this one!! Headed out to open my pool right now. So glad I don’t have to pay the sketchy pool guy $500 to do it. This video is a god send Shout out to that random duck
You did an excellent job in your presentation I have no complaints very good work. That being said I still have homework to do to become truly qualified. You gave me a great introduction!
This is great info. I have been hiring someone to close the pool for winter and open in spring but this time I have to do it myself. I have done a lot of research and I now feel confident that I can do it; your videos have given me that confidence. Thanks. There is only one thing I am still not so sure about - my pool heater (Hayward) does not seem to have any drain valve. Am I missing something?
Thanks and you probably have a suction side leak on your pump if you got air in your pump itself also. I normally will run a garden hose and water over each fitting on the front side of the pump until I see the air clear up in my pump. If you cant get your pump room really wet check out my air bubbles in pump video!
Make sure your pool pump lid is tight when taking the skimmer plug out . If the pump is down hill and the lid is open , you might get water pouring out, also make sure the pump plugs are in
Thanks and if it's a tarp style cover I just use a sump pump if there's leaves I put a sump pump in a milk crate or a bucket with a bunch of wholes drilled through it to keep the debris from clogging up my pump.
Do you know if Hayward cartridge filters have a pressure gauge??? All filters should have a pressure gauge, correct? And it can be any water pressure gauge bought at the big box store?
Yes all filters should have a pressure gauge of some style and yes as long as it is rated for water. I also have links in the description box of my video about changing a pool pressure switch to help.
If I have a raised attached spa, then is the pressure different when I switch from “pool mode” to “spa mode”? My pressure gauge reads 12 psi under pool mode, but when I switch it to spa mode, it reads 18 psi. When I switch back to pool mode, it goes back to 12 psi. Is there a reason for this?
Turn off pump Turn multiport valve to 'waste' Turn pump back on Make sure skimmer valve is closed so it's pulling water from the main drain at bottom of pool as you don't want it sucking in air once pool level drops below your skimmer hole👍
Hello Craig you can just let it go into the pool. The marine antifreeze is mostly just alcohol that will evaporate off the water and the red or blue dye will not do anything to the volume of water of your pool. It's safe.
If you don't have the vacuum attachment that fits over the skimmer basket the yes remove the skimmer basket. Just make sure you don't suck up big clumps of leaves and debris to fast being it could clog your skimmer line so take it easy
Not all, some of the older residential pools still have the single hole skimmers. Most pools of this century though do have the two hole option for secondary drain line hookup or to run straight to the pool as an equalizer in case the water gets to low on the skimmer.
Dude why is your pool so green before opening mine was clear I just bought the house so it's my first year trying to open the pool so happy mine did not look green like that
He probably had a leak in the tarp and water got through or some leaves were still in the pool when he closed it down and the organic matter just settled in. Used to be a huge problem for me before a tornado ripped my tree down and I had to cut it down.
This is my third year opening my pool and I still watch videos like this to refresh the process before I start, so thank you for posting this!

Your awesome thanks for the great comment Isaac!
You did an excellent job in your presentation I have no complaints very good work. That being said I still have homework to do to become truly qualified. You gave me a great introduction!
Thanks for all the great videos!! I’m a new homeowner and opening my pool for the FIRST time EVER in 2 weeks!!!! :)
Thanks for watching N Chen!
Great video. We used it to open our and save 💰!
Thanks for watching Dawn Carter and glad you got your pool opened!
This is the best video I've seen for a beginner. I just bought a home with a salt water pool. Is the process basically the same?
Yes it is similar besides making sure your salt cell is hooked up, clean and your salt levels in your water are at the right levels

Nice video, thanks!
Great video. Opened pool but having an issue with air bubbles coming out of return lines. Any help/tips to find where leaks are?

Em green 13 that is great advice. Thanks for the great insight 👍
Can you do a video with the water bag cover ? First tlme opening a pool and we are not sure what we have to do
Great video!! What is the best way to get the water off a clip-on cover. Any tricks??
Thanks and if it's a tarp style cover I just use a sump pump if there's leaves I put a sump pump in a milk crate or a bucket with a bunch of wholes drilled through it to keep the debris from clogging up my pump.

Different size and number of return jets going to the spa and pool will change the amount of pressure between the two. This is normal
Thanks!
Thanks for watching and Thanks for the Super Thanks Bonus!
What are the steps if u want to pump out the water then use fresh water?
Turn off pump
Turn multiport valve to 'waste' Turn pump back on
Make sure skimmer valve is closed so it's pulling water from the main drain at bottom of pool as you don't want it sucking in air once pool level drops below your skimmer hole👍
What if there is marine antifreeze in my return lines? Do I do something to get it out first?
Hello Craig you can just let it go into the pool. The marine antifreeze is mostly just alcohol that will evaporate off the water and the red or blue dye will not do anything to the volume of water of your pool. It's safe.
You can also suck it out with a shop vac.
Hello would you be willing to do a phone call video to help open pool ?
Do I remove the skimmer basket when vacuuming to waste
If you don't have the vacuum attachment that fits over the skimmer basket the yes remove the skimmer basket. Just make sure you don't suck up big clumps of leaves and debris to fast being it could clog your skimmer line so take it easy
If my water level is lower than the skimmer, do i add water before pur ing on the pump?
Yes water should be in the middle of skimmer or about halfway up it
What do u do to get the antifreeze u poured down lines out? Do u unplug the the jets and let water drain in pool?
Yes just unplug everything and it's OK for the antifreeze to drain into pool.
Do all pool skimmers have 2 plugs ?
Not all, some of the older residential pools still have the single hole skimmers. Most pools of this century though do have the two hole option for secondary drain line hookup or to run straight to the pool as an equalizer in case the water gets to low on the skimmer.
What ski resort is that in the back?
Snow Bowl in Missoula MT
Was the algaecide even necessary opening my pool this weekend for the first time?
Algaecide is more for backup if anything. If you use the proper dose of chlorine you shouldn't need a Algaecide at all.
Well I watched you use a whole bottle so I was gonna get a bottle lol
I use it on my pools because most of my clients don't use enough chlorine
I. M swimming pool calinar
You sure are, bud. You sure are.
Dude why is your pool so green before opening mine was clear I just bought the house so it's my first year trying to open the pool so happy mine did not look green like that

Gosh I wish you lived in Alabama divorced and trying to figure out this pool is killing me
@@tammyklimek what are you having trouble with? I might be able to give you some pointers
be nice to see what youre doing ..so far away
I hear you I'm currently trying to put together a much better tutorial on pool openings as we speak. Thanks for watching!
