Thanks again @1poolman1 - my only concern is that with a vanishing edge pool, it doesn't take much water movement for the water to get pushed over the vanishing edge. But I will try it this weekend.

Thank you @1poolman1 for the quick response. I may be loosing water, but it is a bit hard to tell. I have a vanishing edge so I did test a month or so ago - outside temp was max 70, so I would expect evaporation to be minimal. To test this, I shut off the autofill and turned off the vanishing...

My pool was finished about 18 months ago. I have an in ground floor cleaning system and for the most part it works great, but wanted a little more coverage, so I bought a cheap robot, Apier Seagull about 8 months ago for about $200 to help with some of the dead spots. I have been noticing a...

Thanks. I will play with it some more. This is my first pool and I have a lot to learn :). I do have a in floor cleaning system with a large bottom drain. The floor cleaning system has it's own pump, but I that that I might need to run the pump at higher speed while the cleaning system runs...

Understood. I only mentioned that because I used it in my calculations for water turn over to arrive at the 1800 RPM. I think I was targeting about a 3x turnover per day.

Thanks Jim. I was going down the path you suggested, just seemed strange to have pool run the pump on two different speeds at the same time. So essentially, I want to run Pool (the relay circuit) all the time and then run pool 2 or pool 3 on top of that (I actually only run pool and pool3).

thanks @reggiehammond. My pool builder originally had it set to run at a high speed for about 8 hours a day. As I learned more about the capabilities, I started making a lot of changes. This is when I corrected the wiring and moved to a 24/7 schedule. The pool is about 25000 gallons, so I...

Thank you @Jimrahbe, this is what I had figured out. I just don't know how to correct this? I've seen videos where people setup the pump with different speeds and then assign all the speeds to the same circuit, POOL. That doesn't make sense because you can't then select a different speed. Am...

Thank you Allen. I appreciate the quick response. I do have ScreenLogic. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here are a few pics from ScreenLogic (phone app): Pool Circuit is the Pool/Filter circuit/relay. Pool 2 and 3 are features.

I am a first time pool owner and have a question about the wiring and programming of my Pentair VSF filter pump with an EasyTouch system. I think my pool builder made a mistake and wired my VSF filter to the load side. This meant the pump wasn't getting power unless the filter relay was...
