If you are running your pool pump to filter and turn your water over, we recommend using the middle and lower speed settings. For example, for the first few days, you might run the pump at 2500 RPMs to see what your pool looks like. Next, you might dial it down to 1600 RPMs.

Is it worth upgrading to a variable speed pool pump?
A Worthwhile Investment
Even at a higher initial cost than single-speed pumps, the best variable speed pumps are the superior investment because they offer prolonged filtration, more water turnover, and lengthier sanitation durations. These benefits make it easier to maintain your pool.

How many rpms should I run my pool pump?
Suction cleaners typically run at around 2200-2400 RPM. Heaters require 20 to 40 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) so might run at around half speed or a little higher. You would probably want to run your Spa at up to full speed, 3450, for maximum effect.
How long does a variable pool pump last?
How do I reset my Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump?
To reset the pump to the factory default settings:
- Ensure that the pump is powered on and the green power LED is on.
- Press the Stop button to stop the pump.
- Press and hold all of the four Speed buttons simultaneously for four seconds. Power off the drive.
How do you calculate gpm for a variable speed pool pump?
To calculate the minimum flow rate of the pool pump, divide the total volume of the pool in gallons by 1,440 (total minutes in a day). The minimum filtration flow rate is the least amount of water (gpm) the pool pump must circulate through the filtration system in order to achieve the minimum daily turnover.
Are variable speed well pumps worth it?
Variable speed well pumps, booster pumps, and pool pumps are a scam. These pumps use computerized controllers, also known as Variable Frequency Drives or VFD’s, and are designed to separate people from as much of their hard earned money as possible.
How do I know the flow rate of my pool pump?
Divide the pool gallonage by the turnover rate to determine the minimum flow rate per hour. Divide that number by 60 to determine the minimum flow rate per minute.
How do I calculate the flow rate of my pool?
You find the right flow rate for your pool by calculating its capacity in gallons. Then, divide that number by your desired turnover rate, ideally six to eight hours. Divide that answer by 60 to find the minimum gallons per minute, or GPM, flow rate required to achieve the desired turnover rate.
How do you size a variable speed pool pump?
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.
How do I set my Pentair pool pump to run 24 hours?
How do you prime an Intelliflo pump?
How do I reset the schedule on my Pentair Intelliflo pump?
How do you convert GPM to RPM?
Output Calculation
The ratio is 1 gallon for every 10 RPM, or 1:10. Now if you measure the pump’s output and find it has pumped 2.3 gallons in one minute, you can estimate its RPM is 2,300.
How do I reset my Pentair IntelliFlo VSF pump?
What is a good RPM for pool pump?
A program for a typical pool might look like this: Suction cleaner – run at 2400 for 2 hours; Filtration – run at 1200 RPM for 16 hours; Spa run at 3450 for 2 hours or on demand. Most pumps have manual overrides to change settings temporarily.
