Hey all, looking for advice for programming my new intelliflo pump.
First, I tried running at 750 rpm (after cleaning filters) and see very little flow. Not enough to activate the SWG, and not enough to skim. I am now running 1500 rpm for 14 hours, which activates the SWG and keeps the top of the pool clean. If the SWG is on, is there an advantage to running more water through it, or will it be the same amount of chlorine, regardless? In other words, do I need to bump it up at any point, or could I run at 1500 rpm and be just fine?
Also, is there an advantage to running the pump 24/7? Seems like maybe running it half the time might prolong the life, use less electricity, and be as effective?
Lastly, with the solar heater, I bump up the rpm when the controller kicks on, but I'll trying to find the sweet spot. Is there an advantage to having the water flow quickly or slowly through the solar? Seems like the slower it goes, the more time it has to warm up?
Any other advice outd things i might be overlooking?
Thanks in advance!
