So today I got home, and noticed that due to a series of events, the skimmer door was blocked, making the pool pump suck mostly air all day. Since this isn't too healthy for the pump, I would like to detect these kind of problems with the Arduino controller I am building (designing it to monitor 3 pool temp probes). Question is, what is the most efficient way of doing this? Is there such thing as a simple analog pressure gauge? My filter pressure dropped big time whenever this happened, so I am hoping measuring flow or pressure would allow me to detect these kind of issues.
Since I am redoing all the plumbing, I have some wiggle room, so I am all ears.
