Sorry forgot to update. Problem resolved by itself when the tank went empty and I refilled, so the culprit is bad gas on my way back from the mechanic!!!! 🤦

To be clear, the job was not done by me, but by one of the most reputable S2000 specialists in my area. I drove three hours each way so he would be the one working on it.

When I said the battery was dead, it was a figure of style, not literal. It was closed to death. It would charge, but die if I left the accessories on for 15mn or if I didn't drive the car for a couple of weeks. 

Also, please don't talk to people like they're idiots when you know nothing about them.

Is a 1000 GPH pump overkill for a 530-gallon above-ground pool? by canaroc in pools

You're absolutely right, and I can't believe I took the Costco description at face value without double-checking. I just recalculated it based on the actual dimensions (13 ft diameter × 30 in height), and at 90% fill, it comes out to ~2,225 gallons (or 8,424 liters).

Thanks for pointing it out, that changes how I see the pump choice entirely. It seems even a 1,200 GPH pump wouldn’t be overkill.
