I kicked mine down to 1800 last night and the spa trickled over. I'll work with it this weekend and dial it in so it spills over at the lowest speed. I need to filter the spa water or make it a koi pond. Initially, I was going to install valve automation for this, with the SWG. When I bought the dolphin and Circupool, the only thing I would "need" it for is the spa.

I changed mine so I am pulling 90% through skimmers and the rest using the main drain but returning all water to the Spa.
If I add salt I turn everything thing on and kick the RPM's up for a few hours
Being new to the SWG I really haven't done much to perfect the spa situation. I haven't even checked it FC level independently. I assume it's going to be higher then the 8ppm that the main pool has but my main focus was getting the main pool setup to my ideal settings. I did get the CYA to 80 and the FC is holding strong at 8ppm so the next step is making sure the spa is running a good FC number.
If I built a new pool I would for sure have the SWG isolated on the pool return and not before the pool/spa valve. My valve now is really low to the ground now so it would take a major replumbing job to get it right. If I can't get the spa's numbers to cooperate then that will be the next step.

Does yours spill over in to the pool? That is my concern with the pump speed. I reduced to 2500 ish for about 8 hours. Then it goes down to 800rpm. This gives plenty of time to move the water from the spa to the pool, mix and return back to both.
Mine does, I can go lower but the water flow isn’t as strong as I like. I also measured amps at like 1850 vs 2100 and it was very minimal
The usual battle a lot of us with SWGs have is too much FC as opposed to the liquid chlorine battle of not enough FC.
Both ways end in a SLAM.
You, however can stop your SLAM whenever you feel like.

I've kicked it down to 2500rpm for six hours a day, then to 800rpm. I'm finding it's generating at the lowest rpm. I reduced the SWG to 40%. We'll see how it goes. I'll check again after this week to see if it changes.
