I have two(2) primary daily FILTER cycles defined in the programming.
First one runs from 0600 to 1159 and the next one from 1800 to 2359
Since the FILTER menu uses the POOL DATA parameters, the pump runs automatically in the slowest possible speed to achieve the turnover based on the gallons etc. etc. etc.
In these two currently defined programs, the pump runs at 15 GPM and ~1050 RPM or less
No problem or questions on any of that detail, just needed to explain that it was/is all working as expected.
Now to the question:
What is the easiest way to run one of the two programs at a higher Flow Rate/RPM ?
Based on my understanding the manual, I would have to use either FEATURE 1 or 2 which do not affect the FILTER mode programming .... or .... I can use FEATURE 3--9 which do modify the FILTER programming.
Also, MO Flow (Modulated Output Flow) appears to duplicate this same function and has a Set Interval and Set Runtime parameters.
Again, my qoal is simply to run one or the currently defined 6 hour programs at a higher Flow Rate/RPM, what might be the easiest method to achieve this?
FWIW, the reason I am now studying this setup is that the Macromatic Current Control Relay will only turn on the IC40 transformer at 20 GPM or higher and based on automatic pool data (as calculated by the FILTER mode and POOL DATA parameters) the two 6 hour programs run only at 15 GPM and the IC40 is not turned on. This is all desired behavior and dialed into the Macromatic programming as I do not want to run the IC40 at such low flowrate.
