Running your pool pump at a lower speed
will require a longer runtime to achieve the necessary turnover of the
water. In other words, the two speed motor costs more to purchase and

Nice try "Swim University".


Yeah, not a logical (well, maybe, long term, if it doesn't take double
the run time) pitch, but people usually don't make logical decisions,
more often they're emotional.

But you could get an "over-sized" pump and have a "high" setting for
vacuuming, or if you're lazy like me, when you want to pump more water
through the skimmer.

The Solar Fish
If you have a gas or electric heater for your pool, then this tip is
perfect for you. What would you say if I told you that you only had to
use your heater once a year to maintain the heat in your pool.


Then I would say that you, "Swim University", are so full of **** that
Im going to need a shovel to dig myself out of here.


What is the most likely major ingredient of a product that creates a
persistent film on the surface of water...?

I think I'll just keep using the solar cover, that I already own. I'm
not that damn lazy.
