    OK. I will. Apologize for the obsession.

    Yes, I did read the post. I guess being new I am over analyzing this...

    EcoStar SP3400VSP Flowrates?

    So, what is the recommended turns per day? 1, 2 or 3? I found a posting from a couple of years ago that has a table of rpm/gpm/watts for the EcoStar. Assuming it is a decent estimate, 1,000 rpm is equivalent to 21 GPM, thus for a 17,000 gal pool it would turn 1.78 times per day. Is that...

    EcoStar SP3400VSP Flowrates?

    OK. I was running at 1,750 rpm from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, then at 900 rpm from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. I will follow this recommendation. Should I assume to run a bit longer in the Summer? Same speed? Thanks. PS. Curiosity is still killing me though ;)

    EcoStar SP3400VSP Flowrates?

    The rate of flow, whether it is in GPM or in Turnovers per Day (TpD) or liters per minute or whatever is essential to determine if you are moving enough water (or too much thus too much $) through your system. Somewhere I read I should aim at 3 TpD. Since I have a variable speed, I can spread...

    EcoStar SP3400VSP Flowrates?

    My first post :) How can I determine the actual (or a decent approximation) flow of my Hayward EcoStar SP3400VSP at various rpm ? Should I install a flow meter ? Having some difficulty interpreting the 'performance data' at the lower rpm. I estimate I average about 40' to 45' of pipe from the...
