Recently just had our pool remodeled. We also upgraded to a new variable speed pump (Intellipro 2 VST). And we threw out our old Kreepy Krauly and purchased "The Pool Cleaner". I have The Pool Cleaner dialed in at 12rpms as recommended and it looks like it is doing a fine job so far. The pump is currently set at 2350rpm. In order for the The Pool Cleaner to obtain the proper 12rpm I had to adjust the three way valve as such that there now seems to be no flow at all through the skimmer basket. Have others encountered the same issue? I am guessing the solution would be to run the pool pump at a higher rpm which would allow me to dial back the 3 way valve forcing my suction at the skimmer basket while still allowing for the 12 rpms on The Pool Cleaner. But I rather avoid this if possible since this would mean using more energy to clean the pool. But I also don't want to manually have to toggle the 3 way valve every time I want to skim the top water.
We never had this issue with the Kreepy Krauly as the old pump constantly operated at a much higher pressure and we always had flow through both the skimmer basket and the Kreepy Krauly.
Thank you for the help in advance.
