Thank you all for your help. Based on what y'all said, it looks like I have a defective pressure gauge. It doesn't go back down to 0 when the pump is off. It's always somewhere between 22-28 psi whether on or off.

Thank you very much for explaining that. I won't ever use it!

Ok thank y'all. Just checking, should the gauge read 0 when the pump is off? And how do I find what is the normal operating psi? I read the manual and it seems like a lot of factors play into it. But I didn't build it, so how do I know?

Thanks Jim!

Thanks Mdragger88! I will read through it.

I see. Thanks for that. The cell still works on the low speed setting. So is this what you would run 24/7? The lowest amount possible to keep the cell operating?

Yes that is correct. No, it never falls to zero. Today (the day after cleaning), the lowest it has been was 22 psi. I didn't build the pool, so I'm assuming it is the original gauge from 2019 when it was built.

I certainly will, thank you Jim!

Jim, Thanks for the detailed help. You got it! I did as you said and I have the pool circulating, with no spillover from the spa! Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, Today I cleaned my Hayward cartridge filters. Mine takes 8 of them. When I was finished, I ran the pump on high, and the pressure gauge still read 30. How often is this a faulty pressure gauge? Or is there another problem I don't know about? This pool is only 4 years old...

Thanks 1poolman1. 1. I do have the ability to do a schedule for spill over mode. I guess what you are saying is that I need to get the manual valves set right, then set up my automation to my liking. 2. The waterfall feature is the exact same as the spa spillover. The waterfall is just...

Jim, When I turned on that red ball valve, the bubbler jets on the lounge step turned on. Then I turned off that Jandy valve next to it, and all the pool return jets went off. With more power to the bubbler jets on the lounge step. I have Hayward Omnilogic. So are you saying that I...

Ok great. Thanks for the quick response Jim. My VS pump has 3 settings, low-medium-high. If I was to run it 24/7 like you, what setting would I use?

Hello, I have read on here that you should not have salt cell on while the pump is off. Is that as simple as setting a schedule for the salt cell that aligns with the schedule for the pump? I didn't build this pool so I'm learning on the fly. When I click on the Hayward Omnilogic Salt...

Hello everyone, I bought a home with a pool 9 months ago. I'm a first time pool owner. I've used this site constantly over the past months to learn and it has been a very valuable resource. Thank you to everyone who contributes! This is my first substantive post with a few questions that I...

Thanks guys!
