A tip for you and any others that have the Autopilot and also have trees around their pool.

I used to have a problem with the screen filter in the manifold getting blocked frequently from the little seeds and stuff that falls off the trees in springtime.It would make its way through the skimmer basket and the pump basket and foul up the screen pretty quickly.It's a pain to have to keep undoing the manifold to clean the screen.

The solution-skimmer socks.You get them at the pool store in a pack of 3, put them in to the skimmer basket,and they catch all the small seed before they have a chance to get to the pump.They can be rinsed off and reused.If you are really cheap, you can even use pantyhose.

Since I started using the socks in the spring I never have to clean the Autopilot screen.
