    Low pressure

    Just watched a video and determined the pump impeller could have debris on it. Simple fix and pressure is back up to 12 psi. Heater on and should be swimming in a few hours.

    What's your current pool temp?

    Maybe its 60 years of swimming in the Great Lakes but anything over 81 seems like a bath. Had 90 degree weather last week and had to add cool water to bring it down from 85.
