Pentair Intelli Center controller with pentair variable speed pumps. My system HAS been migrated to the new Pentair Home app.

Is there a way I can program my schedules so that during the day my pump is at speed XXXX and then at night time the pump slows down to speed YYYY? I feel like this should forsure be possible seeing that "freeze" mode for instance allows you to set a different pump speed than normal operations.

heck......I'd be happy to use "freeze" mode at night if that were an option, but can't figure out how to put the freeze mode on a schedule.
 
Do you have a reason for wanting different speeds? Many/most of us just run our variable speed pumps 24/7 at the lowest RPMs necessary to skim properly, and keep a SWCG/heater satisfied on flow.
 
Ah - what many of us have found is that there's perceptible difference between lower and higher RPMs for cleaning. Circulation is not a major concern. The only thing you might consider, if you have a main drain that you can valve down or off, try it. Main drains are functionally not very useful, and closing them significantly pushes more suction to skimmers, resulting in better results.
