–Picked up repaired Rolex Day-Date at Ivanov’s. Works!

–Spent ALL DAY with the Suntouch pool controller. Got exactly nowhere. Beginning to think it’s not wired correctly to the pump. It can turn the pump on and off, but doesn’t seem capable of running it at specific speeds. Will call Aztec. [edit] Further investigation showed that if you tell Suntouch it’s a VF pump (as opposed to VSF, which the pump label says), you get more items in the menu–like pump status (RPM, GPM, PSI). Pretty sure it was installed as a VF (though with max speed limited to 2,900 RPM, which I bumped to 3,450), then Travis changed it to the “correct” VSF. More to come.

–Camellia tree is blooming in garden. Nice.
