Okay, this makes sense, but why is there a flow selector in my cleaner in the app?
What’s a UWF?
I do not know what an automation system is. I will take a picture of my equipment in the morning.
UWF. Universal Wall Fitting. The thing in the wall that the Polaris hose is attached to. There may be restrictor washers behind it. The large knob on the side (usually pointing up but doesn't have to) can be loosened to allow it to release water before it gets to the cleaner so as to adjust the wheel-speed to the recommended 28 - 32 RPM. If the cleaner moves across the floor at a pace that cleans, is able to climb at least partially up the wall, don't stress over the RPM it is running.
but is it ACTUALLY running at that speed from the main pump or does the booster take over? Is it necessary for me to even adjust this value in the app or should I just leave it at 1750 like I run my pool at 24/7.
Wow, thank you for clarifying. This concept is now crystal clear to me, just like my perfectly balanced pool water.
Some kind of keypad with an LCD screen and buttons. Basically, everything that I have in my app (i think)
Jim, I have to open the "slide" valve and close at least one jet valve depending on how strong I want the flow to the slide. If I turn the heater on, it kicks up the RPM to 2450 and that also helps to boost the flow to the slide. Plus, the kids love the warm water on the slide.
WHAAAT?! Those rascals didn't even tell me about this as an option. My pool is 9 months old. My pool builder was bought out by another company 2 months after he built my pool, we have no relationship really.
If the booster pump is on, it is running at 3450 RPM. There is no practical way to adjust the speed of that booster-pump motor. It has no "drive" as the main filter pump (a VSP), with the same capability of changing speeds. It is the same type of motor as the main pump, but the lack of a variable-frequency drive means it runs at one speed only.
