Three speed pump
« on: October 25, 2011, 04:05:12 AM »

I have a three speed pump installed on my new OWF.
How do I tell which speed to run it at?
Thanks

I run mine on low.  I see no reason to push more water thru the HE when the water is still very hot on exit.  I'd say lower electric usage and less heat to the ground etc.

I would leave it on high for at least the first couple weeks. Then after you see how your system is working, you can try the other speeds and see if you notice any difference. It will also help flush out any air that might still be trapped in the system.
