Hi all,
I am in the design phase of an owner-contractor build.
I am building a 20X30 IG gunite pool with an included (in that dimension) spa 9X9. I will also have 3 deck jets.
My questions are regarding pumps.
Between the spa and tanning shelf and steps, the actual deepwater pool will be 20X20, so I figured a 3/4 hp pump will be fine for circulation/filtration.
However, since I have the spa, I am going to include a larger separate pump to handle the spa jetting and such. Do I want to just use a booster pump to handle the jets or do I want to go with a variable speed pump like the VS or VF. Cost is not so much an issue, I just want to get it right. I have thoughts like "well we are not going to have the deck jets on unless we are in the pool or entertaining, so I dont want to pay to run a larger pump all that time...."
Recommendations? Whats your idea of the "smart" way to do it?
I will have automation to handle valving and pump on/off if that impacts decisions.
