How do I schedule my Intelliflow VSF for different speeds?

[LearningAboutPools]

I am not having much luck finding this, I am probably not using the proper search terms.

I have had my pool a few weeks now and have my chemicals balances (thank you TFP).

I want to setup my pump to run at different speeds on a schedule and I cannot figure out how to specify run speed in the schedules.

What automation system are you using?

L,

Each Circuit can only have one speed.. I see your "Pool circuit" is set to 2800 RPM, which in my opinion is way too fast..

You want to set the Pool Circuit to the lowest speed you ever want to use.. I would use something like 1000 to 1500 RPM..

Then you use your Feature Circuits to make new speeds... You can see in my set up that I named them Skim Low, Skim High, and Waterfall

You then set your Pool Circuit to run for the entire time you want the pump to run..

While the Pool is running at say 1200 RPM, if you also turn on Skim Low (or whatever you want to call it) the pump will speed up to 1500.. etc. The pump will always run the fastest speed it sees..

Thanks,

Jim R.

Thanks -- had not seen those screens before. Carry on -- follow Jim's advice.
