What is the voltage on this unit? How long is the manufactures warranty? If the system requires repairs during warranty, what do I do?
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/4/2006 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

This pump runs on 115V power. This unit comes with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. If the pump needed repair, you would call Hayward directly and they would put you in touch with a warranty service station in your area.

When should I change the sand in my filter?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/27/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

You should change the sand in your filter every 5-7 years. You can generally tell that it is time if your pool water is not as clear as it normally is or when you notice the interval between backwashes is shorter. You can use > this guide to walk you through it.

What is the maximum size pool that this pump and filter would work with? I have a 15x25 oval and want to make sure that this would work well. thanks
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/18/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Dan, this system would be more than adequate for 15' x 25' aboveground pool. This filter system could handle up to a 21' x 43' oval aboveground pool.

I can't get the top off the pump basket off. Is there a trick to this. The O ring has been greased and I can't get it to budge. Thanks for any advice.

Tom, Try using a large strap wrench to twist it off. Then clean the O-ring grooves and replace the old O-ring with a new one - lubricate.

This is referred to as an "above ground pool" filter system. I have a 16 x 32 in ground "sports" pool. (approx. 18,000 gal) It currently has an s210t system that I'm replacing. It has worked fine for years, but the tank has split and the multi port valve is leaking. Why does this say "above ground pool" system?
 Reply

A  Answered on 12/15/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

This is referred to as an above ground pool system because the Hayward Matrix pump is specifically designed for above ground pools. The filter can be used on either but not the pump hence making it fit for an above ground pool.

I need to replace my pool pump and filter for an above ground pool. I know it is a Hayward pump (1.5HP) and sand filter that requires 150LBS of sand. Serial # on the sand filter is 0518185070165M. I see that you have different size and filters. One for 150lbs and 250lbs. Which pump and sand filter should I replace it with?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/30/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, A bigger filter is always better so I would recommend this unit. The S210T filter requires 200 lbs of sand not 250 lbs.

Hello, Wendy. The S210T93S Hayward S210T Filter w/ 1.5 HP Matrix Pump is a great fit for a 28'-Round Above Ground swimming pool. It offers a turnover rate of 21,120 gallons in 8 hours and 26,400 gallons  in 10 hours.

I am currently using a cartridge filter and want to change to sand. I have a 3/4 hp pump. Probably borderline. I want to know what is the minimum size I should go with and should I go with a 1 hp or 1 1/2 hp. I know bigger is better but I don't want to over do it. I have approx 12,500 gallons , and I do fight algae somewhat. From what I hear the sand is much easier to deal with

Hi Richard as long as your pool is an above ground pool then for a 12,000 gallon pool I would recommend a Jacuzzi 19" Sand Filter W/ 1 HP Pump I agree that sand is pretty easy to maintain.

Hello Lynn - The 711 number is the number of the filter valve. That valve is used on several filters. In order to recommend the correct amount of sand, we'll need to know the make and model of the filter. The model of the filter should be on the side of the tank on the filter label.
