    Optimal regime for variable-speed pump?

But I am a bit confused: if I don't run cleaner (I use electronic robot), don't have salt yet and have clean surface (since I cover the pool), I don't have to run the pump at all? There has to be a way to estimate the...

If the relation between circulation and RPM is linear, my best bet would be running it at lowest RPM/Watt ratio. Could someone confirm/deny my theory. Also, how do I...

Hope you can help me with these questions: Some people say to cut the blanket, some say don't. It is compelling to cut, looks...
