Hello again! I've just recently taken over care of my new pool and I'm well on my way to enjoying a trouble-free pool thanks to everyone's help! The next thing on my list to sort out is how long and at what speed I should be running my pump. I think I have it figured out but would love a +1 or guidance if I'm off. I have a Hayward 2.7 hp VS pump.
First, I'll share my chemistry specs in case that's helpful or necessary. Today's readings:
FC 8
pH 7.6
TA 60
CH 100
CYA 60 (I added 1lb CYA, which is a little less than what Pool Math said to do)
Salt 3200
My SWG is set at 10% currently and my pump seems to be on a schedule set by the PB in my Hayward ProLogic automation system:
If so, I'm thinking I could set it to stay at speed 1 until 6pm, remove the second timer altogether, and then move timer 3 up to the timer 2 position. Does that seem right?
I know this will affect the chlorine level and that I'll need to keep an eye on that too. If the above sounds okay, should I just keep an eye out or go ahead and preemptively reduce the SWG to 5%? Air temps in the area right now are mid-50's for the lows to mid-70's for the highs, and water temp has been ranging from low to mid/upper 70's.
If you've made it this far, thank you!!
