Can someone here point me to a good write up on determining how long and what speeds I should run my pump each day? I have floor pop-ups for cleaning.

Determine Pump Run Time
To figure out how many hours you need to run your pump, you need to know how fast your pump works. You can find this here.

54,
Since you have an IntelliFlo VS pump and a SWCG, I would suggest that you run the pump 24/7 at whatever speed turns on your salt cell plus 100 RPM just to make sure.
This allows you to generate a little chlorine all the time and to skim all the time. You ramp up your speed to run your IFCS for an hour or two a day, or for whatever it takes to make the IFCS work well for you.
I run 24/7 and it costs me less than $20 bucks a month.
Thanks,
Jim R.
