Hi,
New to this forum. need some advice on my proposed setup.
1. Spa
I am considering using a dedicated XF pump, running two separate return lines to the spa, with a 3-way valve. The idea being that 99% of the time there are 2 people max using the spa, and I can shut off the unused jets and run the pump at lower RPM. I have not come across this setup in the many online postings I have browsed since trying to design this pool.
2. Circulation
I plan on running the main pump at low RPM on a 8-hour turnover, once every 24 hrs, between midnight and 8AM as I am on a time-of-use meter, which significantly lowers my elec rate at night (put this in for my electric car). The auto-cover will be closed during this time. I have read that it is beneficial to turnover during sunlight hours when using a chlorinator. Should I be turning over with the cover open during the day? I do have the lower rates on Sat and Sun, and can modify the schedule for weekends.
Many Thanks
