Based on this, and given the fact that I don't think they did any "programming" I am inclined to believe that the pump is running at 50%........ that makes me feel a bit better. I will confirm when I get home

thank you for the link to the videos..... I will check it out and will run the tests.
+1 to don't even care what the bottles are. If it says to use R-0013 (etc etc), that's all you need to know.
I collect the bottles from the test I want to do, and set them up uncapped, in order, so I don't have to fumble for/with them. I place each bottle down on my other side and recap / straighten up after the test is done.
Run it at 100% for 24hrs. You should most definitely notice the pressure coming from the returns at 100%. Mine feel like nothing at 50
Here is a how to test link. I do warn you to not have anything in your mouth when you read it LOL

Thanks for the warning. I guess my afterwork project today is to build an 8ft fence door with a wheel (I have to patch up the fence that I cut so I could get the equipment and materials when I was building the pool, and figure I might as well put a door so I don't have to cut the fence again in the futureHere is a how to test link.

How many returns and what size is the eye ball in each return. Unless you had 100's of feet of pipe of small diameter pipe or lots of sharp 90's the piping isn't the issue. What speed is the pump running and what pump? Only other reason would be a restriction between the skimmers and pump. Voltage and amp reading will give you an idea if the pump is working hard or not and if there is a restriction up or down stream.Hey guys, so I was very excited to finally have my equipment connected yesterday!!… the connected the pump and the filter to start…… and they seem to work!!!! BUT, it seems to me like I don’t have enough pressure on my returns
I have 3 returns in the wall and 2 step jets. they are 1.5, and I keep forgetting to put the eye ball (I didn't realized that it was so important........ anyway, yesterday we figured that the pump was running only at 50%..... I manually set it to run at 100%
It was DEFINATELY much better when I put it at full run
......AND I learned how to do the backwash of the filter

hey guys. maybe someone can help me out. Yesterday they finally finish setting up my equipment, and finally have nice beautiful clear water .... it is now time to deal with the programming and automation equipment (and of course the mess that is my backyard now)....... I am hoping someone can help me figure a couple of things.........
1.- what would be a good schedule for the pump??? so far, I have been running 100% continuously because we had to get all the dirt and stuff from it, but I think I am now ready to use the "VS" part of it.
2.- does anyone know if there is a way to have my PL-Plus really control the pump??? where I can program the different speeds and such???? I can't find info in the internet.......... I read something about a communication cable, and I am ok to buy one if that is what it takes, but I want to make sure that pump has the ability to be control that way....... you know what I mean???
any info would be appreciated

Refresh my memory on what automation you have exactly- list it in your signature as well.

You should be able to control your vsp through the digital menu - not sure of the exact menu but it would go something like - pool—> filter/vsp then there will be the option to change speed
Or if there’s already a schedule set up you can change that by selecting the
See if this video helps

You need to buy the data cable that connects from the pump to the pl plus
Ok. Do you by any chance know the part # or something??? I can’t find it on the Hayward web site
