Do variable speed pump owners run their pump at slow speeds with a flow rate high enough to trip the heater?
I am considering moving to a variable speed pump but also have a Jandy heater which requires 30gpm to actuate.
My "time of use" electricity rates in Ontario are considerably higher through the day and running at a speed below the heater speed would be ideal and get the filter changeover through night. I understand you can set your timer to do this but the pool would cool off through the day. I know automation could control this but most options seem cost prohibitive.
