Its hydraulic design reduces flow rates while providing the significant energy savings you’d expect from a Pentair variable speed pump. With a maximum rating of seven amps, this makes retrofits easier in applications that are limited by existing wire gauge size.
People also ask, what RPM should a pool pump run at?
The filtrations system can operate at low water flow with typical motor speeds around 1000 RPM or less depending on the size of your pool and how long you want to run the pump. Suction cleaners typically run at around 2200-2400 RPM.
Also to know is, how long do you run a variable speed pool pump?
However, it is important to note that a variable speed pool pump should ideally be running 24 hours a day to ensure proper and optimal water circulation. When your pool pump is not running, the water is sitting stagnant in your pool allowing bacteria to survive and grow.

Can a pump be too big for a pool?
You might think bigger is better in terms of pump size, but a pump that is too big can cause serious problems. In the example above, the pool’s average depth is 8 feet. Now use the formulas below to determine the volume of water in your pool.
What size pump do I need for my pool?
Divide the pool volume by the number of hours that you would want the pump to be running, so that would be 65,947.5 divided by 6. This would give you 10,991 which means your pump should be able to turn around this much water in 6 hours.

What size pump do I need for a 15000 gallon pool?
A 15,000-gallon pool needs about 20 GPM output if we want to run it 24 hours per day. Most people run their pool on an 8-hour on/16-hour off (stagnant) cycle.
