Hello !
New pool build last October and it's time to figure out how to optimize the automation to hopefully lower electricity costs that jumped up considerably. I would also like to address operating the spillover separability as I am always chasing high PH
Here is the current setup by the PB, I just reduced the Pool circuit time from 8 hours to 6 hours. My pool does not seem to circulate all that well, returns are pretty weak towards end of the pool. Runs are probably 45 feet or so to the equipment. I know there may be a trade-off with skimming and saving electricity.
Pool & 18" raised spa w/spillover
Circuit setup
Pool = 2000 RPM - 6 hours a day
High Speed = 3450 RPM - 1 hour a day
I can't see how to change the Pool circuit to not engage the spillover, nor can I figure out how to setup a circuit for the Spillover. I created a "Spillway" circuit on Feature 2, it just moves what I guess is the correct actuator but dosnt turn on the pump.
Regarding the high speed circuit PB said the high speed was needed to "clean things out", I imagine this is not really needed. Also when the Pool circuit turns on it goes max RPMs for a minute or so, I think I saw a thread on how that isnt really needed but couldn't find it again on how to turn that off if possible.
I have a robot so no vacuuming is needed.
Any advice would be very much appreciated, this is probably all simple stuff so please excuse the newbie questions and feel free to send me some post links.
Thanks!
