The breaker serves only one pump. No incidents since, so hopefully a fluke.

All pool breakers are Siemens (picture attached). ~1 year old.

~36 hours now and nothing obvious. What troubleshooting is advised? ETA: I noticed the pump was off around 3am Thursday morning.

Alarm emails in the middle of the night saying “no flow”. I eventually determined the next morning that the breaker for that pump had tripped. Should I blow this off unless it happens again or is further research needed?

I have a camera that JUST misses those valves. Might have to reposition. lol

“Is it plugged in?”:whistle: The valve was closed. I didn’t realize I had independent control over each bubbler. One of the dogs must’ve done it. At least it was simple. Thanks for the help.

I don’t know the make/model. They’re facing up in 9” of water. I can unscrew a retainer and remove the aiming piece. That doesn’t accomplish anything though.

I have two bubblers on a tanning ledge. They’re plumbed to the same pump as my returns. One is not flowing water. I believe everything was normal yesterday. Covering the one that’s running with my hand does not produce flow at the other. What’s my best bet to clear it? I do have a pressure...

Random people showing up at random times in my backyard during pool construction convinced me I wanted no part of ongoing “pool maintenance”. Lack of control was second. Cost was a distant third.

Interesting. I haven't actually used the heater yet (well, once last year for a few hours to verify it worked). I don't actually recall whether the salt cell was turned on yet at that point.

This site almost unanimously advises a salt cell 2x its pool volume. Hayward's biggest cell is 40k gallons, so 1.67x my pool volume. My impression had been that I was slightly undersized, but "close enough". So I understand, you're saying the fact that I have a heater flips this on its...

If the test can't be fully relied upon either, then how do I know when to add salt? I thought 3200ppm was ideal. Maybe the range is broader than I thought?

I guess that's "good", and it would make sense since the cell was only used for the first time last September. Disappointing to learn that "instant salt" isn't what it says, but it makes sense. I'll use it as outlined in the link and continue to evaluate salinity with my tests. Thanks

It's pretty consistently off by a few hundred ppm with the Hayward always reading higher than the actual salinity. Looking at the link posted above, I take that to mean my cell is >100%.
