What is the difference between a 24-hour
circulation pump and a two-speed pump?
Circulation Pump - A 24-hour circulation pump
is an optional, dedicated low power pump just
for ltration. A circulation pump will reduce wear
and tear on main pump and can cost less to run
than using pump 1 for ltration. When a spa has
a circulation pump, pump 1 will have only one
speed.
Although it can be set to run continuously, some
spa owners prefer to reduce their ltration times
in order to lower their energy cost. See “Adjusting
Filtration” on page 22.
Two-Speed Pump - Spas without a circulation
pump use the low speed setting of pump 1 as a
circulation pump. Pump 1 will have two speeds,
low speed and high speed. Low speed is used for
ltration, and high speed is used for operating
the jets.
