Thank you Mark, I can't tell if there are rocks but I am glad that you seem to confirm my hypothesis that it should not take that many RPMs (and KWh) if everything was working. Thanks again. - - - Updated - - - Thank you Isaac. Not sure about calculation mistake, but I am beginning to think...

I'm not sure where the filter is (shows you how much I know) but there's a gage with a PSI scale that reads about 10 at full speed (i.e. 3500) at lower speed (1800) it's about 2 or 3PSIs, the scale does not go lower than that. I am not sure what a good reading for the filter should be. Thank you!

Hi Mark, Thanks again for helping me out with your answers. And thank you for confirming that something must be wrong with requiring the pump to work that hard. I'm no expert, but I can't imagine having to flow that much water 14 hours a day. I am not sure I understand about the concept of...

Thank you for taking the time to reply Mark. Yes, they have 3 pumps. Two of which only come in when people are using it. So there's a circulation pump running at HIGH 3500RPM and using up 2.5KWh which sounds really excessive to me. But I'm no expert. About turnover, how can I know/calculate...

Thank you cowboycasey. Yes, the pump house (even a small one around the pump unit - like a dog house) is one of the ideas I've had, but I still can't believe that we need to run the pump at 2.5KWh for 14 hours a day. Really appreciate the reply!

Hi there, I've already learned a lot from this forum but now I am kind of stuck since I'm no expert. I hope you guys can help me out. I live in a complex that shares a spa. The spa is next to my backyard and, after some kind of retrofit, it's now really REALLY noisy–annoyingly so. I can't...
