Would it be valid to estimate TDH based on the pump curve and the RPM in where water from all return jets seems to stop? Not trying to achieve exact numbers, just ballpark. I see tons of sources using head to estimate flow, but not the other way around. Seems intuitive, but I’m a little...

I was considering installing a Z-Wave dry-contact relay to provide additional control of the pool lights, and to tie them into my home automation system. I have used several of these to control landscape lighting, flood lights, etc. and while I can't think of any danger, I wanted to check if...
