It does sound like might indeed be sitting there listening. While a scope would definitely make it very clear, there's more you can do with your meter. If you measure AC volts across Data + and Data -, you should see something non-zero, maybe up to 1.5V if it's transmitting. If you see zero...

Best I can gather the pool is about 8 years old, house is 9, so there should be no remodel work. The small pipe definitely only connects to the skimmer suction line, I pushed the gravel aside enough to see that. It's made up of a reducing tee in the suction line, the horizontal section, a 90...

If anything it buys time to get past the current era supply chain issues.

That's a good thought. There was a dead ozone generator there previously, visible in the photo to the left of the Jandy RS cabinet. It was plumbed into the drain port on the bottom of the pump basket, doesn't mean it always was though. It's now sitting in the garage until I decide I've kicked...

Hmm, that makes sense, just not sure where it terminates if that's what it is. I'll have to uncap the big one and blow air down it, see where the bubbles show up. The only "extra" port in/near the pool that I've found was what looked like an umbrella sleeve in the deck. The small one I just...

Anyone know what these two capped pipes would be for? 1. The capped pipe directly below the puck tank 2. The smaller capped pipe near the wall, extending from the skimmer drain line (middle line on the suck side)

I wish !!!

Don't try to get a model or price out of me because I have no idea (wife picked it), but this Kitchen Aid model has some sort of forced air drying. There's an air duct outlet on the front of the unit, and you can ever so slightly hear a fan running for a while after it finishes the wash/rinse...

I'm in the camp of I'd rather rinse the dishes than frequently empty dishwasher filters, so if it's something that isn't reliably soluble in water it's going in the can or disposal. ;) I will admit the new Kitchen Aid we put in works incredibly well though, better than the "washed fine but...

To answer your questions: 1. Doesn't really matter if they're connected, you can measure them as a system or individually. But you'll want to power both down your adapter and the heater to ensure they aren't driving (powering) the bus. You can disconnect and measure them individually to see if...

Found my first snake in the skimmer this weekend. Juvenile garden variety garden snake. Poor little guy was just spinning and spinning in there, so I fished him out and let him sun on the deck for a bit. Kids were excited to see him, the little one of course wanted to keep it as a pet ;)

Good find, glad you got it resolved.

Y'all do scrape and rinse your plates a bit before tossing 'em in the dishwasher, right? :) The drain hose on the dishwasher is like 1/2" ID, not much of the chunky leftovers is really coming out of there. Your washer has screens in the bottom to catch most of the solids too. Personally, if...

I had some metal stains when I inherited my pool, and the AA treatment was darned near instantaneous. I sprinkled the AA into the pool around the perimeter with the pump running, and a half hour later went back out and literally brushed clouds of orange off the walls. Almost magic. Followed...

The control panel button membrane can be bought pretty inexpensively, they're on Amazon for about 30 bucks (non-OEM). But, since you can switch the heater on using your Aqualink setup that probably won't change much of anything. You mentioned the display LED will change from 'standby' to...
