Good Morning from Texas!
A (fairly) new pool owner. Question regarding the control of my Pentair VS+SVRS pump via the Easytouch system (and app).
It seems to me that the benefit of having a variable speed pump is the ability to vary the speeds. Problem is, when I access the pump speeds in the Pentair App, I can only control the speed of the pump via the circuits which are available. The current circuits listed are Pool, Waterfall, Fountain, Spa, Cleaner, which the pump RPM for each one (which can be changed). But with this setup, it does not appear as though I can run my pool at say 1750 RPM during non peak times and then at a higher RPM during peak times, such as during the heat of the day.
I looked into programming the pump itself, which is an option, but those settings do not transfer to the app and cannot be changed at will.
I'm sure I'm being clear as mud, but my pump running at near full bore for 10 hours a day when it is 100+ here in Dallas seems like a waste. If I wanted that, I could have just bought a one speed pump. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the term variable? Maybe it is mean to allow you to run different circuits at different speeds? But that does not seem logical.
Any experts out there that can help would be great. I have attached a photo of my "Pump Screen" as shown on my Pentair App.
Thanks in advance,
JDR
