    My pump is running outside schedule

    I found the issue. There was an "external" program enabled that, once disabled, stopped the running out of schedule. Still not sure why, but that was the reason.

    My pump is running outside schedule

    If I press start/stop twice (twice to turn on the green light), the pump turns on program 3, which I currently have set to Manual. Only Program 2 is set to Schedule. The reset button on the panel seems only to reset alerts. Is there some other way to reset the pump? Thanks, Lou

    Run Pool Solar during Winter Months in SoCal?

    I'm torn whether I should run my new solar pool panels during the colder months. Right now the water is hovering around 58-60 F, which is the bottom of the range for my chlorinator to produce any chlorine. I could turn it off to keep water out of the panels in case of freezing or on the other...
