So, I finally wired up the 2 speed relay for my pump. Messed around with it this weekend running both low speed and high speed. It seems like low speed isn't adequate. observations;
- When running, there's a big air cavity in the filter area of the pump intake, which tells me either not enough water is coming in or too much is leaving to keep things in balance.
- Water is coming in, but barely any is coming out of the returns when I put my hand over them.
- Water flowing into skimmer baskets (2) is barely moving.
I am not using solar when testing and the de filter has recently been backwashed. For solar I can have my suntouch switch the pump to high speed. I'm a little surprised that low speed is so lame. Do others run into this where they can't use low speed?
Having a VS pump would give solve this, just not in the budget now.
Thanks-
Kevin
