we are going to travel and have set up a ring camera focused on our skimmer basket next to our pump. is there something i can safely place in the basket so i can watch it move and know the pump is running? Hope someone has an answer for this.

Does the camera have a microphone? You might be better off listening for the pump's motor.
it does have a microphone so we can listen. i just ordered golf size wiffle balls from amazon, does anyone see any issue with that?

Will the balls fit into your PVC pipes?
Why not aim your camera towards the pressure gauge?

It just needs to be buoyant enough not to get sucked against the intake strainer hole. Of course test it before committing. I was going to suggest ping pong balls.
the pressure gauge would be a good idea but it never registers anything. we do have a flow meter but it may be difficult to see in the camera. the wifle balls will be here monday and we will see how that works. i will let you know.
