I have read and read and read. I understand its really a function of trial and error. I am attempting trying to reduce the trial/error period and am hoping someone can suggest a good starting point for my Hayward Tristar VS run time/RPM program.
This is a new pool, PB initial startup was 7/15/16. My previous pool was a single speed main pump, pressure side cleaner & booster pump and a 3rd water feature pump. It certainly was NOT power friendly but I had that all figured out. This pool is a VS with Suction Side cleaner and a whole new learning curve for me.
Pool Details...
16' x 32' IG Pool
~20k gallons
White Plaster
Hayward Tristar SP3202VSP
Pentair 60 sq ft DE Filter
Hayward Navigator Pro Suction Cleaner
From the pool 2" line from suction cleaner and 2" line from Skimmer/Main Drain
- These are merged with a Jandy valve into a single 2" input to the pump.
To the Pool is a single 2" line out of DE filter that is reduced to (3) 1.5" return lines in the pool.
The pool builder's initial program was 5 hrs of full speed. The pool looks great, but I am not getting any advantage of the VS pump so I would like to reprogram with help from all the experience here.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
