I recently moved to a house that has a pool. I've never owned a pool, and I'm having trouble figuring out what exactly everything is. Specifically I don't understand the multiple pump situation. There are a few things that I know...
- The pipe with the orange line sends water to the solar pool heater (currently not in use).
- The valve in blue is closed to the pool heater.
- The pump in orange is a variable speed pump that is currently on a 4 hours high -> 8 hours medium type schedule. This pump is tied to a clock timer that when off kills the power to both pumps. The clock timer is set to turn on at 6am and off at 6pm.
- The pump in green seems to be required for the pool sweep to run. This pump is tied to a clock timer that when off only kills the power to this pump.
- The filter is DE filter that hits about 20psi when the pump is running on high.
- What kind of schedule should the green pump be running?
- What, if any, changes to I need to make to the clock timers?
