We are first time pool builders and are finalizing the design and cost. I really want a separate pump for my 2 - 3ft wide waterfalls (sheer descents) with a 12in raise so that i can have the waterfalls running at the same time as my spa. Our pool builder is telling us that it would be another $2706 to add a 1hp feature pump but that does not include a filter for this pump, which would be an additional $894 (not mandatory). Do we really need a separate filter for the feature pump?
Apparently the $2706 includes the pump itself, a second set of main drains, suction line and the piping, electrical work, and labor to install. That's a lot of extra cost for an extra pump that we prefer not to incur. Do you have any cost-effective options to bring up to my pool builder?
