We just found out that our builder is trying to switch our pool pump equipment during construction due to possible supply issues. I just wanted to make get an idea of what was more recommended and to make sure we weren't getting screwed. The pool isn't too large 23x13 ft ~7000gals (according to our contract) with 2 telescoping fountain/bubblers on our baja shelf, no other water features, no spa. Mostly asking about the pumps (Pentair Intelliflo VS 3HP or Hayward Tristar VS 2.75HP with the Omni Hub Automation). See below for full parts list and proposed replacements. Thank you in advanced, this is our first pool as a young family and I don't want to make the wrong decision.
Pump:
Pentair Model- Intelliflo VS 3HP
Hayward Model- Tristar VS 2.75 HP w/ Omni Hub Automation
Filter:
Pentair Model- Clean & Clear Filter 320
Hayward Model- SwimClear 325
Lights:
Pentair Model- Microbrite LED Color Changing
Hayward Model- ColorLogic 320 LED Color Changing ( these lights are also available to do exterior landscape lighting so they sync w/ pool colors if needed in the future)
Automation:
Pentair Model- Not sold, standard time clock installation
Hayward Model- Upgrade to Omni WIFI automation (No charge)- this automation paired with the Colorlogic lights releases and extra 27 light color/show options and can control equipment from phone.
