Hey all. Part of my rationale of getting an intelliflo VS +SVRS was to save on my energy costs by running the pump at a lower RPM.
I have a 18x36 IG with 2 skimmers and 1 main drain, all running 1.5" to the pad, where I have converted to 2" right before the valve. I have a Sta-Rite DE filter that runs though the heater and out through an Intellichlor before reducing back to 1.5".
Now that I am through the shocking process, I want to start getting more efficient with my pump, but I am not sure how to first figure out how much my water really should be circulated through each day, and then how to calculate how much water flows through at each RPM, but since the are so many dang variables I don't know how to begin even getting a rough flow number.
Thanks everyone!
