Mrs. C., whose hearing is much better than mine, said the pool pump sounded strange. She found the pressure gauge riding 10 instead of its usual 26, so she cut it off. Return pipes in the scuppers seem to be clogged. Waiting now for pool guys to come check. Hoping the water doesn’t turn green without the pump. These are the things you learn along the way.
UPDATE: Turned out the “weir” on the scupper was sticking, thereby impeding the normal flow of water to the pipes and the pump. Replacement ordered. Cost to come. Water still blue (reflecting the sky).
