Hayward DE7220 Pro-Grid

this filter works great. It gives me more time between backwashs. The only problem I had was I tried using the alternet de material made from wood pulp and it would not back wash all of it out.  Switched back to DE and it works great.

I expect it to last a long time, the Hayward beats up the pool surface, this does not, just runs around, only track touches pool.

Parts are inconsistent with pre-existing norms for Through Hole Extruded Radial Fin TO-220 Heat Sinks; pin-spacing is inconsistent and varies too much. Existing boards would have to be modified for fit but doing so weakens the part-board integrity. Sorry folks; gotta go with other options...no worries though, will use existing parts as is

Oh great...a zoomable photo that hides the model number/manufacturer and all other specifics, but lets you get close-up view of some black plastic housing.  How freaking helpful.  FWIW, I have a Fluval branded replacement pump supposedly for the Spec III and Spec V and I'm thinking this is a non-Fluval-branded version of the same thing.  Whether it is the same or slightly different, know this: use a box cutter, razor blade or similar to remove those suction cups before you install it, *especially* if you are installing in a Fluval Spec V.  If those suction cups are firmly in place in the V, you WILL NOT be able to remove the pump when it fails.  You may have better luck in a Spec III because the pump cavity is bigger.

Oh, and you also won't be able to remove the pump if it's still working, but the water supply tube has come away from the pump and needs to be refitted (my situation).  My solution in my Spec V: cut the power cord to the pump while it's place and leave the pump and remaining wire in place.  (Yes, unplugging it first would be a splendid idea.)  Yank the water tube off the pump and attach it to your replacement pump (maybe with a zip tie).  Drop the replacement pump on top of the original (now disabled) pump and connect the spout from the tube to the water outlet.  Now you have a *removable* pump in your Spec aquarium.  It would be really swell if you had this feature from the factory.  JEEZ.

Looks great, works great; I had a little snafu with the installation- I thought I had 240V going into it and it kept giving me a "AO" error code which is for the blower vacuum switch. The troubleshooting steps in the manual didn't help but a quick call to Hayward warranty support solved the problem in seconds. Turns out I had 120V going into the unit. Once I switched jumpers on the board it worked great. Hopefully it will continue to work well for many years to come.

I like the smartplug locking feature. I've looked at my shore power cords and both have over heating marks. This purchase is for power supply for my 1977 airstream land yacht. The stainless steel mount is perfect for the trailer. I wish I could of used my Canadian prime membership for this purchase  dan

Installation not difficult. Operates as advertised. I have an electric pedastal sump pump which prevents mounting to discharge pipe. Made a simple floor mount bracket using 2x4 and supplied template.
Works well but rate of discharge flow is low but continuous.
Newly installed with no power failures as of this review so hope it works well when needed. Was out of power 9 days during Sandy and running generator to prevent flooding was real pain.

I bought this to install in my remote sub panel that powers all my pool equipment.  We have an in ground pool and wanted surge protection for the variable speed pump, salt water chlorinator and automatic pool cover.  It is pretty simple to install if you are comfortable with doing some minor electrical work.  IF NOT COMFORTABLE WORKING WITH 220v do not DIY and get an electrician.  Since in my case I was installing in a sub panel, I shut off the power to the panel (which was controlled by a breaker in the main panel).  I then removed the cover for the sub panel.  I punched out a panel hole, unscrewed the supplied mounting ring and fed the cables into the panel and mounted the box on the outside of the sub panel.  I cut the neutral (white) and ground (green) wires and screwed into the neutral and ground planes in the sub panel.  Then I installed a new dual pole 20 amp circuit breaker.  You should check the maker of your panel/sub panel and purchase one which is compatible with it.  I then cut and screwed in the two power lines (black) to the two screws on the breaker.  Remounted the cover on the panel and turned on the power to the sub panel.  I then turned on the new circuit breaker and noted that the 2 green LEDs came on as expected.  So now these pool devices have some protection.

Even if you use this on your main panel, I would still suggest an appropriate UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for high cost devices like computers, receiver, big screen sets, .., as the UPS will provide protection from more than just a surge.

Definitely recommend this to provide a means to provide a level of protection at the panel level.  Of course I won't know if it is great until, if ever, it gets fried from a surge and saves the other equipment.

System was installed and all works well.  I had to re-plumb and rebuild the power from the previous on demand electric water heater.  That was the unplanned part.

No issues with system so far!

Outstanding product, pricing and delivered early.  Used to replace both bearings in Hayward Superpump II motor, after complete rebuild, only original part left was the motor itself.  Performed preventive maintenance cleaning motor inside and out, replacing front and back bearings and capacitor  Bearings are well made and fit as designed.  Five year motor is running smoother and quieter in Arizona's sun.

After the old Tank style unit started leaking i decided to look into going tankless...
Plenty happy with this unit for the price...been working fine 4 weeks now.
This unit draws WAY more electricity than a tank unit.  Upgraded circuit needed...Had to get an electrician to install two extra breakers in the house breakerbox plus larger upgraded wiring to move the 40amps thru...cost $700.  Still happy with the unit...installed in a 3 bedroom trailer house, puts out plenty of hot water, not scalding, but just right.  got a peek at the inside internals when installing, looks to be well made inside too.

UPDATE: From Barrett Bryan. Unit lasted less than a year, started having problems at about the 4 month mark, heat output dropped significantly. Then one day I heard a loud pop come from it (its located in my closet space). Opened up to look at circuit board and it had popped a capacitor, the local computer shops at TV repair shops wanted about 75-100 dollars to repair. Instead had my father who is experienced with electronics soldering do the repair soldering in a new capacitor of a higher quality from radio shack. Unit worked fine for about another 2 months and then went completely out.
Replaced it with an eco-smart unit from a local big box home repair store much happier now. Don't be lured in by the price it will end up in the garbage WILL NOT LAST DO NOT BUY.

I purchased this unit March 22, 2017 and it worked excellent for nearly a year. I contacted the seller and was promptly sent a new unit which corrected the problem I was experiencing with my Hayward pool/spa heater.  They have a great product and excellent customer service!

Excellent built quality product!  Great LED light.  Buy this over the leaking poor quality Hayward LED light!  Trust Me!  I learned the hard way.

Just set this baby up and all I can say is, "Wow." I've had 3 Haywards now and after replacing the parts in #3 and still getting less-than-stellar results, I decided to go with this Baracuda. 10 minutes in, and seeing it go where Hayward never went (water line, steps, etc) I'm more than happy with this purchase. Loving the fact that there are so few parts to replace and those seem to be easy fixes. I was having to brush the sides of my pool on a regular basis, as well as brush the debris from the shallow end to the deep end because Hayward seemed to live in the deep end all the time. Baracuda appears to love the walls. I may have to adjust something to get it to do the bottom more, but this  may be love at first sight.

The middle standpipe was not long enough for S-220T Hayward sand filter. I had to have someone I know add a pvc fitting and another piece of pipe to it so that it would be the correct height. We will see how it works.

OE Hayward filters are the best and can usually be found at a reasonable price.  I typically get a season and 1/2 out of mine then use it as a backup.

I guess I'll buy a Hayward. Should have known better. This pump did move a lot of water. I just wish it had lasted a few more years.
