The increaser on the discharge side of the pump is designed to increase the pipe diameter from the pump nozzle to reduce the velocity of the liquid in the discharge line in order to reduce the total head the pump is required to develop to operate the system.

Me again..I forgot to tell you that the connection to the filter is on the bottom half. I realize it would be much easier if it was on the top but that is just how my life seems to go. Thanks again.

I have a Jaquzzi DE filter and I bought a new Hayward 1 HP pump. How to I connect them when the filter is set up for a vertical connection and the new pump has a the connection on the top of the pump and not the side??? Both are threaded. Are there connection kits available??? Thank you.

I just had a semi inground pool installed, I waited the appropriate amount of time to make sure the liner did not leak, past two days I backfilled.
Today, I installed the filter and pump (both hayward). When I turn on the pump, it does not draw water from the pool and the hose going to the filter from the pump flattens out.
I removed the cover from the pump several times to prime the pump and water enters the pump with no problem.
I previoulsy had above ground pools with no problems hooking up the pump and filter. Is there something else required for semi – ingrounds?

Thanks

I need help. I am new to this and after cleaning my cartridge filter and replacing, I can’t seem to get the lid back on and sealed and tightened so that it will not replace. The guy that showed my how, used a flat head skrewdriver around the edges of the body and the lid, but, I can not remember what he was doing in this step. I have had to turn off the pump, and don’t know who can help….pool maintenance person…

In reply to Linda Medsker.

Hi Linda,

All the openings on the pump and filter are 1.5″ ( inch and a half )

You will need to buy then connect three hoses;

1) First hose ( 12′) goes from front of pump to bottom of skimmer

2) Second hose ( 12′) goes from “filter out” on filter top to pool wall return

3) Third hose ( 6′) goes from top of pump (discharge) to “filter in” on the top of the filter

You will need the following fittings

( 6 ) 1.5″ cone adapters

( 2 ) Pieces of hose 12′ feet long

( 1 ) Piece of hose 6″ feet long

( 12 ) 1.5″ hose clamps

Let me know if you need any additional help, or have any additional questions,

BTW – Great equipment you bought, I love the Hayward Super pump ;-)

Joseph: I have a question on a new install. We have Hayward 1/2 hp superpump and Hayward 22′ sand filter, a wide mouth skimmer and nothing to connect all this together because we didn’t buy a pool kit. We went modular with the equipment because we wanted a big filter. So is there a picture or schematic of all these things connected together with specs so I know what hoses and connectors to buy? I think we want to site this on an area that is about 5′ below the bottom of the pool level. Will that be a problem? The proposed equipment site is about 12′ max from the skimmer, but 5′ lower than the pool bottom, so about 7′ below the skimmer basket. What hoses/connectors/clamps do I need? I think I need four cone adapters and two or three hoses, but what sizes? It appears all the openings have interior threads and are 1 3/4″ interior. Can you help. We thought we could we do this ourselves but we are into this thing for many dollars and many more weeks and all we have is a bunch of really nice expensive equipment and no expertise.
