Anyone out there with a variable speed pump?
I was thinking of getting one but was not sure of the advantages/disadvantages

If I run a variable speed pump at a low rate that allows all the water in my pool to turn over 3 times per day, and this is less than 60 gallons per minute, will my filter work correctly?
Also, just to check, what is the proper amount of water to push through the filter each day? Do I want to put my entire pool volume through 2 or 3 or 4 times per day?
