I just had another thought while watching my Polaris dance around the pool, which should have seemed bloody obvious to me before now If you look at my pipework in the photo above, in between the multi-port and the cell housing is an off-take for the Polaris. Obviously ( ) when the pump runs some of the flow is lost to the Polaris. I just checked on low speed and sure enough there is still some flow (not a lot but probably enough to be problematic) coming from the Polaris return. I now know what my first job will be on the weekend.
The Polaris is plumbed this way so that highly chlorinated water doesn't go through the booster pump, but it also means that un-chlorinated water is being returned to the pool. If I plumb the Polaris after the cell is it likely to cause a problem with the booster pump?
