Hi guys,
After advice on the setup that works best for you when it comes to suction pool cleaners + skimmers.
I've got a Poolrite S2500 Vac Plate with speed control valve which I have completely shut off, diverting full suction to the cleaner.
The cleaner has it's own suction control valve which is also full closed as I'm running a variable speed pump on 1800 rpm - which is just enough to operate the vacuum.
I'd really like to have the cleaner running together with the skimmer to collect surface debris as well.
I've stopped leaving the cleaner in the pool as I've found the floor is clean but the surface still collects light debris which just sits there and does not get pulled into the skimmer.
Is what I'm trying to achieve even possible?
If I open the speed control valves on the suction cleaner, it won't operate properly so I'm guessing I'll also need to jack up the RPM on the pump.
Keen to hear your thoughts and recommendations and what has worked for you to achieve the above.
Thanks
