I am finally getting around to installing a 3 HP Intelliflo VSF pump to replace my old 1 HP single-speed. I got a previous recommendation to run it 24/7 at 1200 rpm, so thats what I'll do. I'll set my RJ 45 salt cell at 45% and monitor the chlorine to be sure it's making enough.
My question is what speed should I be running the pump when manually vacuuming the pool. I assume faster, but I have 1.5 inch plumbing and don't want to overwork the pump, which is made for 2 inch pipes.
