Hello all, let me just start off by saying how wonderful of a resource this site is and how much I appreciate the folks who are willing to take the time out of their day just to lend a helping hand to a stranger. Im just about to wrap up a rehab of a pool and this site has been my bible!
Im probably going to begin filling next weekend and will be using my well. I have a 3 stage filter on it so the water comes out very nice.
Right now if I have 1 hose running, my pump will get down to 20psi and pump back up to 50psi then shut off until 20psi and so on and so forth. I am trying to figure out if it is best to leave it as is when filling or should I set it up to have it continuously run? Any idea what is easiest on the pump? My figuring was that the shut off time allows it to cool for a bit but on the flip side it adds extra strain on the start up. So I just dont know. Its a Sta-right 1 horse if that makes a difference.
Trucking in water is not really an option in my budget. In fact I have a swamp in my backyard and if it wasn't dried right now I would probably fill from that then treat the water lol.
