We have a 2 speed Hayward 2 HP pump (think it's this Hayward SP3015X20AZ Super II Inground Pool Pump, 230V, 2 HP, but will check tonight).
For the first month it has run from 9 to 6 daily, plus often in the evenings when we wanted the water features on.
We have an Aquarite T-15 salt cell.
Provided that our CYA is correct and the pool is balanced, what's the minimum amount of time to run the filter to 1) generate daily chlorine, and 2) run the skimmer sufficiently?
Also, the pump only runs through the spa when it's on high, so we have to long enough on high to get that water circulated with the pool water.
Right now I'm thinking one hour on high, 4 hours on low, and set the timer so that the "high" is running at night so that we can enjoy the water features.
I know we'll have to tweak, but we have to start somewhere? Any suggestions?
(full disclosure - we also ran the heatpump some, both for the pool and the spa. - that's a different issue, and I may have to just get used to cool water after a rainy, cloudy day.)
Thanks!
