Hi. Our pump died at the end of last season (or so I assume because we couldn’t get the pool to start and tried every method that has ever worked). I am going to invest in a new one but I’m not sure which size to get. I don’t know that the one we currently have is large enough.
We have saltwater pool that runs 24hr a day. Our pool is downhill from the pump at quite a steep decline (see attached picture. Pump location is circled and I’m standing at skimmer). It takes a lot to start it. We have to use a plumbing bladder and hose to get it primed, so it takes two people to start it. We have looked into moving the pump closer to the pool but can’t find anyone to do the work.
There is currently a Pentair Superflo single speed 1.5 hp there. It lasted only 5 seasons.
What speed should we get to efficiently move the water up that hill which is at least a height differential of 7 feet and probably 25-30 yards away.
Thanks for any advice!
