I haven't taken a photo, but it's a Hayward SP714 TX. The gasket only has four spokes.

When it gets really bad, I'll be buying a whole new unit. :rolleyes:

I couldnt find it in any of the catalogues, better of just buying a new unit as once something goes wrongs the problems kept coming one after another. Let me know what filter you plan on getting but...

Filtrax are the ultimate filter, they dont make them anymore. And they are about 10 years old now. But if you happen to find one pick it up.

If I found one on the street (chuck out day) I would pick it up, they are just that good.

$22k - salt water, solar heat & most importantly..... Fully automated cleaning.
That's where most of the $$ are, was $8k for the auto cleaner. NEVER have to lift a finger except change the filter and salt a couple times a year, = more time to hit the track with the Green Beast.

Nice Craig, I had a swin in there before I came back to Melb. But now I'd be a bit weary of jumping in there, since you've been up there for longer!
