I have a 12,000 gallon pool with a caretaker pop-up cleaning system. It has three zones and has worked okay since I bought the house ten years ago. There always seems to be a few areas that it misses, but that just makes me brush my pool regularly, so no big deal.
This last season I noticed the pop ups don't cycle anymore, but instead they just all come up and stay up. This means I'm getting less pressure per pop up, and the pop ups don't get the opportunity to rotate.
No noticeable changes in the system otherwise. I don't know too much about the control valve module. I replaced the top housing, gasket, and pressure gauge a few years ago because it was leaking. And it worked fine after that. I just checked and noticed the pressure gauge is reading zero. But that could just be a faulty gauge, right? No pressure would mean none of the pop ups would pop up, I would think.
Thank you, Jim
