Thanks Pat.
Pump is producing as it was last season. Same pressure. Nothing has been altered or added to the system.
I have also backflushed the system to check if dp was a factor. No change.
I guess i'll have to give Aquarite a call on monday.

If you have checked everything I assume you are stuck with a bad sensor.
If it has been less than 3 years since you purchased it they will send you a new switch at no cost, if it has been less than 5 but more than 3 you will get 40% off the list price.
I had the same thing happen this spring when I opened my pool... I called Aquarite, and talked to them, and they diagnosed a bad switch over the phone... I had partial warranty left, so it cost me $50 to get a new one. I put it in, it solved the problem. FYI, I left that switch in during the winter, and that is probably what ruined it... did you leave yours in or take it out.
Just an FYI. You may not want to do it, but I got a blank "phone plug" and ran a loop wire between the two middle contacts and it fixed mine no problem. Of course, make sure you have flow etc. After I put my "plug" in I found out that mine was still under warranty. So I got one for free. (I still don't have it put in) The guy on the phone said mine would work fine as long as it was really flowing. Just unplug it during backwash. Just a quick and easy solution.

Thank you all very much.
The suggestions are very helpful.
Yes, I did leave the switch installed for the past 3 winters.
And that shorting tip was just what I was looking for !!
A new switch is on the way.
I'll keep you all up toi date as to the outcome.

Thanks to you all !!
That switch shorting trick was the ticket.
It got me up and going until the new switch arrived; which was the root of the problem.
Again, thanks to you all.
