We are doing a 33x15 rectangular pool, 3hp vs pump, right now the PB has 2” return and 2” suction lines. Is it worth going to 2.5” for $500? Any pro/con? Also I is there any benefit to having the skimmer in the middle of the pool or off to one side? Right now the skimmer Is 1/3 of the length of the pool on the left, I thought it would suck in debris better if location was dead center, PB told me I would have to upgrade to 2.5” plumbing as they can only go 40 feet from the pump with 2”.
