Thank you. My confession is that for the last few years since the pool was built I've never bothered with CYA. Therefore I ran the system at night to make sure the pool really got plenty of chlorine and circulation. I'm going to start maintaining CYA so that I can cut down on the use of my...

The pump pulls from the skimmers, bottom drain and catch basin. There are valves on all three of those where I can control the amount. How important is it to be pulling water from the bottom drain to ensure good filtration of the entire water column in the pool. We do of course vacuum it

Wow, great question! I guess I just assumed it would take a lot of flow. I will have to think this through. The pump pulls from. That's very interesting about not need to use the those port bottom and skimmer ports. The pool has drains on the bottom and 2 skimmers. I thought it was...

To save on expensive electricity down here in Belize I need to stop running my pump and SCG 24h a day. But my understanding is that sunlight breaks down chlorine really fast. So how important is it to run the pump and SCG at night to make sure the pool really circulates it's water and...

I just found a similar thread. Doesn't sound like variable speed is going to help much due to the infinity edge flow rate. To save $ I just need to run it less.

My pool uses well water with high alkalinity. We have to constantly drip muriatic acid into the pool to keep that under control and pH balanced. We do pretty well with it but I'd like to automate. Anyone with experience on the the Pentair IntellipH and IntelliChem? Sadly neither the rep at...

I have a 20,000 gallon pool with infinity edge so I run the pump all the time otherwise it just doesn't "look" right. But electricity is extremely expensive here in Belize CA. I've been reading that Pentair variable speed pumps can save a ton on electricity. But t would apply to me given the...
