    Any thoughts on dreame Z1

    I just got the Dreame Z1 Pro as part of a review program and had my first chance to use it today. It's replacing my Polaris 280 since the pump seems to be on its way out. I've been running it for an hour so far, and it’s only been vacuuming the bottom (I'm assuming it's still mapping out the...

    Hayward DE4820 filter reading 32 PSI after thorough grid cleaning

    Polaris Pump Electricity Usage Increase: From 1.32 kWh to 5.92 kWh

    I posted all the relevant pics in the original post. As far as I can tell the booster pump is sucking water from the main return. Is that how it's supposed to be set up? The booster return seems to just be a dedicated pipe that goes to the pool:

    Hayward DE4820 filter reading 32 PSI after thorough grid cleaning

    I've recently moved into a house with a pool, and as a complete novice, I had zero communication with the previous owner about how the system works. A few weeks ago, while trying to map out the system and understand what each component does, I noticed that my filter pressure gauge was reading 35...
