Postling this in case anyone has the same issue. One of the initial steps to isolating the issue is to be sure that too many water features are not running, and thereby decreasing the volume of water to the Scuppers. Obvious, and I looked at the pool and figured...yep, nothing else is running...

If I had a partial blockage in the pipe going from the skimmer to the pump or from the pipe going from the drain in the deep end to the pump, then when I turn the valve at the pump to isolate the suction from either the skimmer or the drain, would that identify a clogged pipe? I tried it and...

One of our 3 Bobe Scuppers stopped working. I thought it was because the filter was due for a cleaning and so I cleaned the Pentair 200 Filter, which was pretty dirty - although the filter pressure only 16 vs the normal of 12. Didn't fix the issue, so I replaced the filter and that did not fix...

I just tested the temperature difference by putting the Thermometer in the stream from the jet in the side of the pool and it seemed like a 4 degree difference. Then, I filled a 5 Gal bucket halfway up from the scupper and it looks like only a 2 degree difference. That was at 2650RPM and so I...

Thanks again. ScreenLogic does not show the cell temperature. I see that the Intellichlor shuts off when temperature gets below 59 degrees and so the temperature data is somewhere, I just don't know how to access it or if it is accessible? Lets say I measure the water temperature post...

At Pump RPM 2650, Wattage is 1255 and Filter PSI is 15. There is a total of 560 Sq Ft (Qty 11 @ 4 x 12 + Qty 1 @ 4 x 8). Thanks!

I'm not sure where the solar temperate sensor is located, I can't see it since it is on the 2nd Story roof. I think the water returning from the solar now seems consistent in temperature and so the only current issue is whether the RPM is high enough for optimal heating. I have been nudging...

The pressure at 2350RPM is around 9PSI. Is the VRV the bulb looking device? If so, it is installed where the pipe from the solar returns from the roof down by the pump level - in the last of the pictures posted...I just increased the RPM to 2550 and the pressure went to 14PSI. My wife seems...

There is a water temperature sensor after the Pump, but before the solar. From the looks of it, it seems to me that the water goes to Pump, Water Sensor, Filter, Solar, Chlorinator, back to Pool. I know that there is another sensor up on the roof, but I can't get to that to take a picture...

I have 11 solar panels on a two story roof. The gutter is approx 22' off the ground and then the roof slants upwards so that top of the solar panels are at least 27'+ from the ground. The pool & solar was installed approx. 1 year ago and I noticed that when the solar is running, I would feel...

Chem Geek, thanks for the reply. My kit has 7.8 and then 8.2...so if its a little darker than 7.8 I'll consider that OK, if it looks closer to 8.2, I would add Acid.. I wish someone made a kit indicating 8.0 :( Actually, I think I have some of my returns intentionally pointed towards the...

Is it ok to keep PH at 8 if CSI is still kept near zero? Would I be causing damage to the pool? It looks like I will have to add 2 Cups of Acid every 2 days to keep my PH down at 7.8. Even if I get away with only doing that 3 times a week, that is 6 Cups/Week or 1.5 Gal/Month. Seems like a...
