I know there is a lot of "it depends" but I don't know how to do the math or calculate this all out.
As sig says it is a 15,000 sqft pool in Florida, screened in, lots of sun all day. Variable speed Pentair pump so I can have it do whatever. I set it at 2,500rpms a year ago because it seemed like a fine thing to do and reduced the run time based on the readings here at around 4 hours a day is enough to get the chemicals where they need to go. No real problems outside of an oopise two weeks ago that was documented here.
In an effort to try to cut back on electricity and just be generally more efficient in my energy use I come to the pool pump. I haven't set it for any good reason and was trying to see if I could reduce it to 2,000 for now or even lower. It's a variable speed pump the previous owners put in that does absolutely no variation at all, it's either on or off, so wondering how we can figure out if we can take advantage of this and reduce it down.
