Trying to narrow down run time/speed to adequately circulate while at the same time maintaining a high enough flow rate for the SWCG to produce enough to keep my levels around where it should be. First, I realize that an IC15 is not ideally sized for my pool, but it still works after replacing the flow switch, so I'm planning on keeping it until it's spent...will definitely replace with larger capacity when the time comes.
I, of course, relied on the pool store recommendations when I initially changed over to SWCG 6 years or so ago, and then again for the VS pump a few years ago (initially just had a single speed pump, so it was pretty simple at that point with the SWCG). What I've done in years past (at their recommendation) is tried to run the pump at a high enough setting to keep the salt cell producing all the time, usually at a lower output. However, after reading a little and hearing from you guys, I realize that the recommendations will probably be much different from this group. So...should I set the SWCG at 100% and only run the pump at 1300 rpm long enough to produce the desired amount of chlorine and then back the rpms down to the lowest setting for the rest of the day? If so, any ideas on a starting point for how long that might take on a daily basis when it gets hot in a few months?
I'm going to try to shoot for keeping CYA around 70; that's another factor...never have been really great at keeping it consistent.
