Lower Speed, Longer Time
Variable-speed pumps save energy because power draw drops dramatically at lower speeds. The art is running low for everyday filtration, then scheduling higher speeds for tasks that need it.
A Sensible Schedule Template
Use this as a starting point and adjust based on skimming and filter pressure.
- Low speed: most of the day for filtration and chlorination
- Medium: a short block for skimming and turnover
- High: only when vacuuming, backwashing, or running features
