I'm sorry for posting a topic that I'm sure many have done before me. I plan on starting a 20x40 vinyl liner pool soon, it will have a standard shallow end with an 8' deep end. Just trying to nail done how many returns I should put in. The pool initially comes with 3 returns, but I plan on adding 2 step jets (6' wide standard steps) and the two main drains and possibly 3-4 deck jets, but because of the size I'm debating if 4 returns..... one on each wall or 5 returns (2 on the wall opposite the skimmers)would be better? Thoughts? Is 5 returns overkill?
Additional info:
Equipment I plan on using:
Pentair Clean & Clear cartridge filter 520 sqft
Pentair VS pump (not sure which model would be best for my pool and features, definitely want an energy star certified model)
Pentair IntelliCenter Kit i5P, IC60, LC (w/ Salt) -- Model Code: 5PIC60
Would the equipment I listed run/circulate the pool optimally? or would not be not enough or too much overkill?
Thanks everyone!!
