I currently have a 1.5 HP single speed pump and am thinking about doing an upgrade to the pentair intelliflo VS. My vacuum (hayward navigator) is controlled by a 3 way valve. I was thinking with the VS pump on low speed i would want the vac line closed off so that i get the maximum benefit from the skimmer, since at low flow i don't think the vac will move at all. I haven't really been able to find any info on this question which is basically -
If i have a variable speed pump with no automation, and leave my vacuum line in the "on" position, will the skimmer get enough flow to pull in leaves etc ?
