    Running my pump at 2500rpms for 4.5 hours a day, can I reduce the RPMs?

    also how much are you really saving? i have my VSP run 24 hours at 1200 RPM this uses 98 watts. based on my power costing 11 cents per KW it comes out to 28 cents a day or about $8.50 a month

    Time to replace sand filter?

    set your MPV to recirculate and see if behavior is different, this will bypass your filter and let you narrow down the problem. also not common fo the pump to be below the skimmer when you think the skimmer is 2 feet or more below the deck of the pool. that's how mine is anyways
