    Well I hope you are not having the problem I was having with mine. Exact same symptoms, but here was one other - I was loosing water from the pool. Turns out there was a break it the pressure line under the ground. Everything seemed fine except for water loss and slightly slower polaris movement dues to less water flowing to the polaris.

    Be sure the backup valve isn't leaking "on". I had to replace mine as it was stealing water pressure. Found one on ebay....

    Thanks for the insights. My pool level is fine and my back up valve doesn't leak.
    Could the pressure relief valve cause a drop in water pressure? It does not pass any water, but mine seems a bit bugggered up. I'm reachin here, but am at a loss. Polaris is sending me a fitting to check the water pressure. I guess I will have to wait. One othere thing I am going to check, is to see if there is anything obstructing the flow behind the wall fitting. With the washer adapter in there make for a small hole, maybe there is something clogging it. Like I said the pressure seems fine, as I run out of the water, the water shoots out of the adjustment nosle about 20 feet and out the venturis about 10 feet.

    Thanks for the suggestions so far. any more would be appreciated.
