Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the help with helping me make the right choice for my pump. I ended up with the Pentair VS pump @ 3hp, and it is model 011018, I have been reading on the programming options, and length of time to run the pump. Now that I have the pump how do I know what program and speed to run it at? I have read some run 24hrs and some run for different cycles for other reasons, I was thinking of having it run at a higher speed during the heat of summer, like now, for approx 8-12 hours @ like 1100 rpm and then slowing it down for the remiander of the 24 hrs at a speed of like 400-750, since it can be slowed down to 400. What are your thoughts on this? I am new to pool ownership and this pump, so any feedback is appreciated. Also trying to save on my horrible PGE bill here as well.
