I currently have an Pentair VS Intelliflo pump and I want to enjoy my pool more than worrying about the chemicals in this hot SoCal Inland Empire weather. So I have decided to install a SWG but have a few questions first because of the VS pump I have. Hopefully, some of our members can chime in.
I have read that when the pump is turn on with a timer, you run the pump and SWG at the same time, obvious. But VS pumps are set to run longer hours at different speeds cycles, therefore if the SWG was running all that time, I would run the risk of over-chlorinating the pool. Some people have talked about having the SWG on a different timer that runs withing the hours the VS pump is running, set to only the necessary time to proper level chlorination. It sounds like a legit concern and a good way to control this equipment, however, I'm sure others here have run into this issue and can either confirm or have other information that will help. Thanks in advance.
