How to determine proper RPM for VS pump

[new-pool-owner]

Is there some sort of ballpark guide for pool size, fitting size, pump, etc. to determine this?

Depends on what you are doing with the flow. If normal skimming, then adjust the flow rate to achieve that. If running a suction side pool cleaner, then adjust the flowrate for that. Etc.

Can you fill out your Signature so that we know what type of pool, volume, equipment you have? Click on your Member name in the upper right of this page and select Signature.
