Thanks to reading several posts on this site I've gotten a much better idea of how to program my VSP to create better energy efficiency; i.e. not running it 24 hours a day like our pool builder suggested. But I still have a few more questions.
1. Our slide needs a certain amount of pressure to operate (pump water through it). But if my pump is off or running too low, how can I increase the pressure? Do I have to do this manually every time or is there a way to control it automatically via the automation?
2. If the pump is not running at a certain speed (or off), the heater will not kick on. We like to keep our pool fairly warm. Is there a way to program the automation so that the pump kicks on when heat is called for or do I need to have the pump running all the time?
3. When I backwash the filter, does the pump need to run at certain RPM? Specifically, is there a minimum that it should run at?
Thanks in advance for any help!
