Thanks for your reply - and especially the explicit answer! I think I'm understanding a bit more. Currently, my timer is only turning the pump on (I don't have any other equipment). That's where the power source is. I don't understand how the VGreen would get power if not connected to the...

Thanks for the good review of the V-Green! Do you know if it'll work with an Intermatic automatic timer?

would this one work?? Century A.O. Smith - E-Plus 56Y Square Flange 1/2HP Full Rated Pool and Spa Pump Motor https://lesliespool.com/century-e-plus-56y-square-flange-1-2hp-pool-and-spa-pump-motor/620059.html 1/2 Horsepower 1.90 SF

Thank you, I'll give that article a try!

Are there helpful articles, or preferable videos, on a drain & refill?

Once it starts refilling, do I wait until it's done to add chlorine? Or is it better to add some as there will be lots of algae left to treat? I couldn't find any write-ups about that

I should add - the plaster that's already gone happened long before the drain. I'm pretty sure it was a water chemistry issue

ok, I've sprayed it earlier & off of course the sun already dried it out. There are areas where the plaster is already coming up - especially on the steps

I just found that & edited it. also, the plaster is starting to bubble in a couple of small spots - should I panic yet? This drain & refill is nerve-wracking for sure.
