new to me, 2 speed pump question

[rajung]

I recently switched to a 2 speed pump, I never had a water chemistry balance problem running old 1 speed pump from 4pm til 9 30 pm , 5 5 hrs per day.
Would it be a good starting point just running the same schedule with pump on low or should I start by running on low and increasing the amount of hours? thanks

I keep my 2-speed on low 24/7/365 with no issues at all.

thanks, guess I will increase the amount of running time, just not sure about the 365 part around here!

guess I will increase the amount of running time,

Of course. Customize the run time required based on your local conditions and amount of surface skimming needed to keep the pool clean.

There's only a few reasons to run the pump under normal conditions : 1. Mix chemicals (including chlorine generation in salt pools) 2. Skim surface 3. Vacuum 4.??

If your pump does all 3 of these to your satisfaction in 5.5 hrs per day, then let it keep doing so.
