Minimum RPM for Pentair 3050 for popup in-floor cleaning and to prevent freezing

[wkndplyr]

Thanks for the information. I have been doing those searches and have found some general answers.

What i have done so far is that pentair has an app that i downloaded, apple phone has the better version, where i was able to adjust the rpms. I had our installer there too. We looked at the popups and at around 2200 rpms it was still pushing water around well. As you mentioned pop ups have flaws, well i aleays had dead spots at 3000 rpm and so 2200 dead spots was not going to bother me.

The noise has come down considerably but now the othet issue is, we have solar heating the pool and was wondering what pump rpm would it take to push water up a single story house. We currently set it at 2500. A little noisy, and it wont stop until the target temp is reached, sometimes hours. I can turn the function off or lower target temp to shut the noisy off but then whats the point of solar. So next quest is to see what min rpm will push water thru solar.

Thanks in advance

Trying to make pumps quiet AND functional takes skill and knowledge, which I have. BUT . . . it also requires detailed knowledge of the local situation, which I do NOT have.

So the most I can do is wish you good luck. (If I was trying to make a solar system quiet AND efficient, I'd use a dedicated booster pump, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QSFJPE/ . But picking the right one, setting up the controls properly, and connecting the piping would be tricky. The pool pump would have to run on LOW, anytime a booster pump like this operated.)
