    We did get enough water in the pool to run the pump on low. No leaks, oh yay! I took the opportunity to dump in a large bottle of bleach and get that whole process started. The chems tested out pretty much as expected except the pH is kind of high at 8.2 but the water is really cold still so that might not be an accurate measurement.

    Now, as to your remote controlled pump, I am so impressed!!! But why are you waking up at 0300? Can you not activate some sort of timer software to turn the pump on and off? That way you could snooze right on through.

    Certain things should have human intervention like looking at the pressure to make sure nothing is frozen. I do have a mechanical timer on it too but don't use it much. At 9:45 it's already down to about 30.

    Brrrr! Cold night, 24 F when I got up this morning.

    Do you have a webcam on the pressure gauge?

    We had sub-freezing the last couple of days as well. Now it's warming again a little.
