Ahh gotcha. Just filtering. And yes I have a SWG as well.The pump runs for a purpose like skimming, running a heater or SWG etc.
Are you just filtering, or are you running for a different purpose?
Determine Pump Run Time
To figure out how many hours you need to run your pump, you need to know how fast your pump works. You can find this here.www.troublefreepool.com

You can drop the speed down to just enough to allow the SWG to work with a little bit extra for margin.
Thanks JamesW! Does flow rate factor into what the pump speed should be set to? For my 13,500g pool, I calculated my flow rate to be 28gpm.
So I changed the speed of my pump from 3450 to 2000 and my filter psi dropped from 25psi to 10psi, which is expected I suppose. One thing that I noticed, which I don't believe I've seen before, is tiny bubbles coming out of my return jets. A quick search on this forum led me to look for the obvious culprits. I didn't find any obvious air leaks. The only suspect was a giant air bubble in the filter basket. Maybe it was always there. I never really paid much attention to it before. With the pump running at its highest speed before it was always kind of a whirlpool in there. Thoughts or concerns?

The SWCG creates hydrogen gas. Those are the bubbles you are seeing.
You likely can lower the rpm further.

Interesting! I learned something new today! Thanks Mknauss!
