Hello everyone,
I've searched the web and this site far and wide for the answer to this question and like many others, I can't find the answer. I have an 8000-gallon pool/spa, I live in Vegas, and next week I will have an SWG installed.
My contractor set me VS pump to run 8hrs a day at 2500RPM. From what I've read, that may be OVERKILL? I'm not having any issues keeping my chemistry in balance but I'm trying to conserve energy. I understand there are A LOT of variables when it comes to pump runtime and the SWG installation will become another variable.
Based on your experience what schedule would any of you recommend I try for the best energy efficiency that will also result in the best water chemistry? Where would you all feel comfortable setting your pump schedule for a pool in the desert?
Thank you for any input
Jeff
