We bought our house about 2 months ago and had a new liner installed in the IG pool. I purchased a Pool Pilot Digital w/ the SC-48 cell. I have approximately 22k gallons of water and have the salt level at 3200ppm according to the Pool Pilot (hasn't been calibrated against a salt water test though, should I?). The system ran for 24/7 for a few days until my water was crystal clear. Now I have it running split 4hrs during the day and 4hrs during the night for the past 1.5 weeks. Everything "looks" good and I say this because I only have guess strips to test with as of yesterday. My K-2006 Taylor kit is due in today so I can get some more accurate numbers.
Now for the question:
1) What is the correct power level for my system? The manual is very unclear in this area.
BTW, my water temp is hovering in the low to mid 90s right now (bath water) if it matters.
2) Can I control a variable speed pump or just a two speed with the digital system?
3) Related to 2, will the system just swap between low and high speed (for a two speed pump) or can it switch between low, high and off?

Thanks,
Michael
I can answer the power level question. Start on level 2 and if you cannot maintain your desired FC readings with the output above about 20% then drop to level one and run it there. If you cannot maintain the reading in level two below about 80& then move up to level 3.

Haven't looked at the manual for a Pool Pilot Dig in a while so Sean is more qualified to answer your other questions BUT if memory serves me correctly then you can select low or high with the two speed pump but need to install a separate shutoff since the pump will run in low all the time unless the system sets it to high.
