That is perfect, thanks.

I have the Hayward scoop. I agree, the first year I used a coffee can, the scoop is much better.

So far so good, holding steady at about 7-8 psi and the flow at the returns is very strong.

At least now I know if I run into problems during the year the disassembly shouldn't be so bad per your directions above.

Now if the pool water would only get higher than 73 we could actually enjoy it.
