Hi:
I have a 20,000 gallon pool with a small (3 person) spa. I had an old A.O. SMITH single speed pool pump 1.5 HP RPM 3450. It did a good job but it had a small leak. Rather than fix it I purchased a Jandy VSFLOPRO to save on my electric bill.
The old pump ran for 7 hours and did a good job. My pool guy has set the new pump at high speed (3100) from 9 am to 3 and low speed (1700) from 7 am to 4.
So it runs at 3100 RPM for 6 hours and 1700 RPM for 3 hours.
I noticed that the PSI is lower, at high speed, with this pump than the single speed pump. It was 16 PSI at 3100 with the single speed pump and now it's 12 psi when running at 3100.
I want to save on my electric bill but I also want the pump to be working at its most efficient.
This forum is so helpful I thought I'd see if you have any suggestions on the best settings?
Thanks!
