Hi all, had a quick question for the group regarding our current water level. We're located in the KC metro area, and have our fair share of rain this spring season so far. The water level is getting high and the mesh safety cover is sitting in the water. We're scheduled to open our pool on May...

Stockpile those receipts and $0.73 will pile up before you know it

Got it, thank you! Appreciate your insight, glad I found this community!!

Only the pool pump, single fiber optic light, and heater (which is not connected, never was since install in the early 90s) are connected to one of the two labeled circuits... Have identified a few mislabels on our new panel, but have yet to find out which pool breaker is the "actual" pool...
