Hi,
Just purchased a house and inherited a pool. Been using the Pool Math app with great success.
The solar pump was not working as there was a PPP error code (Acson controller) and after replacing the pool sensor, it's all good.
Issue is I can't seem to work out how it was all set up and I am getting unwanted behaviours from the system.
Attached is some crude diagrams to help explain what I think is happening. These are my best guess after a lot of trials and it could be wrong. I have reached out to the previous owner but cannot get a hold of him.
Scenario 1: Pool filter pump is on, solar pump is off. Everything seems to be working fine and I cannot hear any water in the pipes leading up to the roof tubing and cannot see water flowing through the solar pump.
Scenario 2: Pool filter pump is off, solar pump is on. Can see water flowing through solar pump, can hear water in pipes leading to roof. The issue is that water is flowing through the pool filter pump (can see in inspection window), flowing the wrong way through chlorinator and flowing out of the skimmer hole. It has likely been through the sand filter the wrong way as it is all cloudy. When I then turn off the solar pump and turn on the filter pump, the filter pump takes a long time to prime and sometimes doesnt at all.
Scenario 3: Both pumps are on. Everything seems to be flowing ok but the jets are putting out an insane amount of water.
Other attachment is an image of the pumps setup.
Is this a typical set up? I want to run my filter pump overnight on off-peak electricity and only run my solar pump during the day when needed.
