Hi Everyone!
Previous H/O replaced his 2 pumps for a single Pentair IntelliFlo VS 230V/3HP. His original configuration was:
Pump#1 was for the skimmers; 2 - 2" suctions lines; each line had 2 skimmers.
Pump#2 was for the main drain, 1 - 3" suction line; single pair for floor drains on a tee and 48" o/c
When he installed the new pump the suction lines at the pad were reconfigured as follows:
The 3" suction line(main drain) had a 2" reducer installed and 2" pipe extended to a new Jandy Valve
The 2" suction lines(skimmers) were separated from their original tee and Jandy Valves were installed.
See attached pic for current configuration - no pic or documentation on the original configuration.
So I wondering ... is this arrangement is causing water collisions at the tees feeding the pump?
Thanks for your assistance and comments!
