Hi folks,
I didn't want to clutter this thread (pump-sizing-help-t40222.html) where mas985 gave me some pump recommendations.
I'm going from a single speed 230v pump with a mechanical timer to a 2 speed pump & adding an SWCG and trying to wrap my head around how (or if) to re-do the timer.
I expect to run the pump on low all the time, except when I'm running my polaris 360 cleaner. I have to manually open a valve to run the cleaner, so there's no point in automating the high/low speed, or is there?
The SWCG should only be on when the pump is running, correct?
Can I stick with my existing setup - have the timer turn on both the pump & SWCG? Or have a multi-input timer to turn the SWCG on a little after the pump comes on? Or...?
Do the 2 speed pumps come with a high/low switch installed on the motor itself, or do I need that function in the timer?
Thanks for your input!
