I have everything picked out for the pool build in late spring except for the pump.
It’s going to be a 20x40 Mountain Loch style from an online supplier with a 10’ tanning ledge, 42” to 57” deep.
2 skimmers, 2 main drains, 3 returns (may add 2 more to push water across tanning ledge to clear debris) Sand filter, Pentair salt generator, 140 btu heater.
Pump will be 30’ from center of the pool, so not sure on head loss. I do plan to run 2” lines with long sweep 90° elbows to the outlet. Do I need 2” on the returns or is 1.5” fine?
I will run the pump 8-10 hours using 20,000 gallons to make things easy I’m at 42 gpm on 8 hours/day and 33 gpm on 10 hours/day. In the past I had a 1hp on my 15,000 gallon pool with no issues.
What pump size would you suggest? Single speed, dual speed, VS. If VS can I run the pump on a timer or is that all controlled from the control board on the pump?
