Should I run AIO pump 100%?
Pumps should run at a constant speed all the time. On my custom loop I have it set to 85% because that is as fast as it will go without being audible. Many AIO’s can be run at 100% and still be inaudible.
Does pump rpm matter?
Yes, it does matter- you don’t really want a flow rate lower than . 5 gpm, but that’s not to say it’s not possible to have good temps that way. Most of us shoot for 1.0+ gpm.
Can a DS pump run on low speed?
Below is a diagram of the correct and incorrect wiring of a DS pump. In the example above, the motor will only run at low speed when switched to high speed. If the wire from the H position on the switch is connected to HIGH and the L is connected to COM, the motor will only run on low speed.
What happens if my pool pump cannot run at high speed?
If you cannot operate your pump at high speed, you may lose the ability to control your waterfalls, pop-up heads, spillovers, jets, and bubblers. Water features typically require more gallons per minute (GPM) than what the low speed on pumps produce.
How many gallons per minute does a pool pump need?
Water features typically require more gallons per minute (GPM) than what the low speed on pumps produce. We also recommend checking the minimum GPMS your heater and salt chlorine generator require for operation. For most, the minimum is around 35 GPMS.
Can a two speed pool pump be replaced?
Unfortunately, if the winding is bad, it cannot be replaced and you will need to replace your whole motor. Certain types of two-speed motors actually have two separate windings in one housing. Most have a separate main and phase windings. Still, a few two-speed designs only have a low-speed main winding.

Why does my hot tub pump only work on low speed?
A: When your 2-speed hot tub pump only works on low speed, and never kicks into high speed, there are four possible solutions to check. First , if you are pushing an air switch button, check that the air hose is not crimped or disconnected.
Which is better two speed or single speed pool pump?
Two-speed pumps can be switched between high and low speed, usually automatically. The reason these are cheaper to run than single-speed pumps is that when they are switched to the lower speed, they are more energy-efficient. Single-speeds, on the other hand, are always running on high. These pumps are the most energy-efficient pumps on the market.
