Hi everybody,

I am relatively new here since I only enjoyed my new pool (SWG, 12000 gal inground gunnite) for about a month or so. When the pool company did the start-up they had me run the 3 hp pump 24/7 on full throttle and after a week reduced it to 4 hours at 2900 rpm and 16 hours at 1500 rpm. Do I really need to run it that much? And can anybody tell me the gpm/rpm? I know this is dependent somehow on where the pump is located, in my case it is on the water surface level at about 20 feet away from the pool. I have heard that I don't need to turnover the pool more than twice a day in summer (we are very heavy users though..).

Thanks a lot and BTW I did NOT get poolstored during my first poolstore visit, thanks to what I have learnt from here
