Well if yours allows you to set GPM and various conditions (like air build up) can increase resistance and thus decrease flow, then I'd expect your pump to increase/decrease RPMs throughout the day. Mine only allows me to set the RPMs. No. My claim that the flow rate decreases over time is...

So the pump is only useful for removing debris that falls into the pump (I have a screened in enclosure so that is an incredibly minor concern for me)? So when people tell me the circulation created by the pump is necessary to mix everything in with the chemicals, they're just wrong? That's...

I don't understand what you're suggesting. It almost sounds like you're saying the RPM I enter into my pump isn't the exact RPM it runs at. I don't know why that would be the case, but if I entered 775 and it actually ran at 750, I don't know why that would cause the flow to do diminish over...

Of course I could do that, but that just sidesteps the problem. I'd like to fix this problem. I'd like to be able to fix the decreasing flow over time and avoid wasting money by turning over my pool more often than is necessary. I'm also wanting to know, can a slow air leak on the suction side...

Is my hypothesis possibly correct, that air slowly building up on the suction side can cause the flow rate to slowly decrease? If that's not possible then maybe I need to replace the pump or look into something else? If that is possible then maybe I can find the air leak and maintain constant...

I just got a brand new Pentair VS SuperFlo pump. I'd like to have my pump running 24/7 at the lowest speed required to turnover the pool. This is what I'm observing: I set my valves to be in pool mode only (no spa), I programmed the SuperFlo to run at a single low RPM all day long, I'm not...
