Thanks, Jim! I can't think of any reason for him doing so either; I guess that's why it never occurred to me that he was behind all this until he called yesterday to tell me to stop resetting my pump. I'm disregarding his advice and now running the pump for 8 hours at 1700 rpm. John

Thanks, guys! You've confirmed my understanding of the threads and pool school articles. It seems I need to ignore my chemical guy. (I use a pool guy only because my wife insists on it. Long story which has yet to reach its conclusion.) And thanks for such prompt responses. This is a great...

I live in a hot, dry part of southern California where temperatures are often above 100 in the Summer. I have a Pentair VSF Intelliflow pump. My kidney-shaped pool is roughly 35 feet long, 15 feet wide at the widest, and six feet deep in one end. The guy who does a weekly chemical treatment...

I am posting a reply here because this thread is the closest to my problem that I was able to find in my search, and this is the only advice that might work for me. Nonetheless, let me run this past you guys... I have a Pentair Intelliflow VSF which I program using the keypad attached to the...
