Hello, I have a compupool cpsc36 salt system. I have heard a lot of negative things about it, but for the past 4 years it has done a great job with no problems at all. I am thinking of upgrading the pump to the Sta-rite 343001. The pump operates at 1400, 2200 and 3000 rpms. Will the salt chlorinator operate normally while the pump is running at the lowest speed of 1400 rpm or will it need to be run at a higher speed while the chlorinator is on? Thank you, jerry
Hi jerryd,
I’m going to ask our resident CompuPool expert Dennis to answer this question. He will post the answer on this as soon as he has the information.
Thank You

Hi Jerryd,
Your CPSC salt system will shut off at about 20 GPM. The relationship between your pumps RPM and GPM depends on how much resistance (head) you have in your system. If you are currently running at 50 GPM or greater at 3450 RPM, you will be operating at 20 GPM at 1400 RPM. Based on these numbers, your CSPC would operate inconsistently at 1400 RPM unless you have greater than average GPM flow at full speed. Your CSPC will definitely operate at 2200 RPM - maybe at 1400 RPM.
Regards,
Dennis
