Cleaning Bots vs water filtering?

[Johnmarkpainter]

So..I just got a Betta Solar Skimmer and a Dolphin Nautilus.
How much do I need to run my pump when I have these cleaners going?

PS....
Getting ready to replace my old pump which is about to blow out.
And funny because I got my pool very clean over the last few weeks without running the pump much.

The minimum time required to run your pump is the time that it takes your SWG to generate enough FC to make up for daily loss.

Being your pool, it's difficult for anyone to put a definitive number on how much longer you should run your pump. The skimmer bot will help to keep your water surface and skimmer clear. Having a robot means that you don't need the pump on to vacuum the bottom.

If you're switching from a single speed pump to a VS pump, you'll be able to run your pump much longer without having to stress out about paying the electric bill. Work on finding the lowest speed possible to accomplish the needs of your pool. This will help you save energy. Check out the article below for more info.

Determine Pump Run Time

To figure out how many hours you need to run your pump, you need to know how fast your pump works. You can find this here.

Technically each serves a different purpose and run time is not really correlated to the other.

- Your skimmer/solar skimmer focuses on stuff at the surface
- Your nautilus focuses dirt/debris at the bottom
- Your pump/filter focuses on suspended particles.

Run your pump to make chlorine and skim and you should be good to go.

Oops!
Forgot to delete SWG from my profile.
It died a while back and I am reformed back to just getting Bleach rather than seeing the SWG slowly degenerate.
