Still new to the pool world, still learning so much! I have been noting green bundles at the bottom of the pool, mostly in the deep end towards the drain. Water is very clear, no issues with chlorine. SWG keeping FC in the nine range. CC is consistently 0.0. CYA remains a bit low at 40-50...

Thanks. I'll pull the valve off the top in the next week or. Thanks for a logical approach. Sound s better than pulling all the sand out to check laterals.

Not sure where this return is in the loop, but it is nearest to the pump and equipment. Other returns are returning to deeper areas of the pool and not as noticeable.

Well, instructions are dangerous for me! I tend to overthink from time to time. When I hooked up the THREE wires for the RS-485 connections, in the same figures, Pentair discusses 3-wire connection. Included in that section is the switching of the jumper to enable 3-wire control.... which I...
