Wondering if it is possible to have my pump run at priming speed for a few minutes when our Aqualink calls for solar?
Reason: Pump rpm required to "prime" the solar system (push water up to roof and force out all the air) is higher than the rpm required for the flowrate that my solar panels call for once the system is flushed of air (steady state rpm).
Scenario: Filter cycle starts at 8am and the pump primes, then drops down to filter speed. At, say, 10am, the air warms and the Aqualink calls for solar heat - diverter valve directs flow to panels and pump rpm increases to the steady state solar speed. But some air remains in solar loop.
I have a newer Aqualink RS-P4 (pool only) with a iAqualink 3.0, installed in 2022, that controls our solar. Just one variable speed pump runs filter, solar.
Thanks, Dave
