Just thought I would close the loop. All 5 sensors and the PS all showed closed with the pump running however the wire coming off the terminal block had disconnected itself and therefore the test loop was open. Plugged the wire back onto the terminal block and all is good :rolleyes:. Good...

How would you test the sensors?

It is not stuck closed but rather open about 25-30% (best guess) but certainly not 100% (spring loaded). All other items have no issue as I have not seen an reduction in flow at my returns and the heater in-line. Also, no significant increase in filter pressure although the sand would be...

Disconnected the connectors at the temp sensors, disconnected the spade connectors at the PS. Tested all above with flow on and all were open circuit

Yes, single speed Superpump. No flow issues last season. Skimmer is good and no stuck weir door. As I said I am getting an open circuit on the temp limit switches (2) and the pressure switch.

Would it make sense to consider that a Jandy check valve would cause a sufficient back pressure such that the flow would be reduced?

I am getting a LO alarm which I understand is related to flow and affects the PS. Here is what I know, With flow through heater 1 - PS is open circuit when checking continuity on the PS connectors. Should this be closed with pump running? I can verify flow as I have a check valve on the...

I do and see that my addition will drop my pH by 0.4

But won't pH decrease considerably with a dry stabilizer addition?

New kit picked up today and have shared the latest results, at least I think I have??? CYA needs to increase but should I worry about a pH boost at this point?

Excellent. Thanks as always for all the feedback

Ok, great thanks. I use the "sock in the skimmer" method to avoid build up in the filter but will have to build a hobo stick to hang over one of the returns. Thanks

I am using CYA granules and have added 1.8kg of about 6 that was recommended on PM. I just had a store test (I know...) which is still showing 0. I am not concerned about their reading as much as I am their comment. They said..."do not add more if you have already added as it takes 2 weeks to...

Thanks greatly. I do see scale in my SWG and have to clean that a few times in an 4-5 month season so perhaps it makes sense. I believe that I have found a source for Boric Acid which as you say will make the process a little simpler with just having to monitor pH
