New IG pool plumbing question

[Brad Stubbs]

We are building an 18' x 36' IG pool with 2 skims & 3 returns plus an 8' Roman back sit-n-step with 4 spa jets. The pump is a Hayward EcoStar VS 1-1/2". We are going to split the return between the 3 returns and spa jets so we can control pressure / flow to the jets. Are we ok using 1 1/2" pipe?

Welcome to TFP! I don't have an answers for you, but I am sure one of our other great members will. Congrats on your build.

If you end run the pipes you will be ok with 1.5 inch on the returns, I would suggest at least 2 inch on the skimmer though.

Thanks Isaac-1. That helps.
