    Pump - watts used increases throughout the day

    An update: I removed the inoperable and ancient pool heater and the issue I had appears to have gone away. It could be a coincidence, but the removal was a good choice nevertheless, I think--the heater used copper pipes and when I removed them from the heater the ends of the pipes basically...

    Pump - watts used increases throughout the day

    Thank you, James W. I am unable to check any metrics while the pump is running--when off I can see PSI set as 30 within the Filter menu option. There is a heater, however, it doesn't work.

    Pump - watts used increases throughout the day

    Thank you everyone for your contributions. Here are some more details in response: - The pump and filter are out of direct sunlight - The cartridge filters are clean (I gave them a spray and also soaked them over night in TSP, then sprayed with the hose again, all last week), the filters may be...

    Mini Pebble Application - Too Thin?

    Hi All, I just had mini pebble installed and it looks spread a little too thin to me. The pool surface seems almost blotchy--pool not yet filled with water. See pictures. Is this normal? Thank you!

    What is all this? - question about valves and shutting off water

    Hi All, I'm planning on draining my pool so that I can wash it out. I need to shut the water off to the pool, but I can't figure out how to do that without shutting off the water to the house, which I don't want to do. I see two (and only two!) valves on the pool plumbing, but I don't know what...
