    Maintaining CYA Question

    Circulation question

    Jason, After some research found my pump to only be a 1 1/2 horse power, changed in signature. Anyway after learning my new pump size do you stick with your recommend or would you add plumping to additional return on the other side of pool? Thanks

    Circulation question

    I would like to increase the water circulation in my pool. The return on my pool pushes OK but would like to have more movement on the other side of the pool where my ladder sits. Is this even necessary? I keep my eye tilted toward the floor of the pool just seems like there is lots of dead...
