    Skimmer basket malfunction

    Thanks Jim The skimmer basket, instead of fitting into the skimmer basket receptacle evenly at the top lip, has gone below the top to make it cockeyed and sagging in one area that has locked it into place. Does this make sense?

    How to add phone remote access?

    Jim & all, Houston had a 22 & 26 in February. I have freeze protection. He obviously does not, so wanted to be able to turn on pump to keep water moving when it dips below 28 for an extended period. I guess running it at 1200-1400RPM's 24x7 would solve that.
