Pump speed during SLAM

[bosko]

I have a inteliflo vf pump. I have a pool that is green with high cc and low FC. I just started my first slam. Currently I have the pump set to filter all of the water twice every 24 hours. It's a 11,000 gallon pool and pump is running around 15gpm. Is this enough flow for slam? Or should I run it in manual at full speed?

Cut and paste from this article:

There are several things you need to be sure of before you start. First, the pump and filter need to be working. You need to have the pump running 24/7 during the entire process to make sure the chlorine gets everywhere, or you might not get all of the algae. Before you start, be sure you know how to clean/backwash the filter, and what the filter's pressure reading is when the filter is clean.

You dont need to run full speed. I would say 2x turnover a day is ok. The more flow you have while slamming will mean shorter times between backwashing your DE filter.
