I think the housing of the pump is threaded so the nut may not even be necessary.

Need a few more. Didn't realize I'd need 2 for the heater. I can tie the pool/spa lights together to the same circuit or eliminate yard lights and just put those on a switch by the backdoor.
It's not the dollars, I don't have space in my box. I worked on it quite a bit today. I decided to just use one relay for the heater. I now have lights, SWCG, solar, pump speeds, suction valve, return valve with inching, and heater controllable from my phone. Can't really complain.
Made a chart to help visualize. I also am turning the pump off during peak hours. Went in the spa last night and watched the meteor shower. Saw a pretty nice fireball. Not having to go to the equipment pad and fight the spiders for lights and modes is life changing. I'll tackle Alexa or something similar eventually.

My order came in today. 2 PVC thermowells. I'll place them before and after the solar panels to measure temperatures.
