After the start up of my equipment and pool, I have some questions about pump speeds.
I have an 18k gallon pool as noted in the sig. Easytouch automation so I can set speeds and alter the schedule, etc.
My filter is the Pentair Cartridge CCP 420.
I have noticed when running the pump at around 1000 RPM, there is basically no change in the pressure gauge.
Only at 2000 RPM I have found a small increase in the filter pressure gauge, as attached below.

I'm curious if these speeds are way too low to be considering cleaning the pool with, and if I should be using a higher speed at a lower amount of run time.
After reading some charts, and hearing 1 turn over of the pool water per day, 2 turn overs, etc... plus the time for the IC-40 to do it's work... I'm pretty confused over finding a general speed and run time I should be starting with for the pool.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Picture of the equipment also attached.
