I'm having a hard time figuring out what my flow rate will be on a 1HP 2SP Hayward SuperPump. My pool is scheduled to go in but they have not broken ground yet so I have time to change this if I need to. I want a 2 speed pump for the energy savings, but I'm just not sure what pump will be able to run on low speed and still trigger the heat pump (Pentair UltraTemp 70) which requires at least 30GPM flow to kick on. Since my install has not begun I dont know my head but I can try to explain how the plumbing will work. My 1 skimmer and 1 return will be about 20' from the pump, filter, and heater. This is an IG pool and there is about an 8" grade which the equipment will sit higher than the top of the pool. I should also note that the pool is about 10,000 gallons, I will not have a SWG for now because apparently it will void the warranty on my pool according to the dealer. Equipment listed below:
Hayward SuperPump 1HP 2Speed
Pentair SD60 sand filter
Pentair UltraTemp 70 Heat Pump
IG Radiant Pool @ 10,000 gallons, 4ft depth all over
Thanks for any help you are able to provide me. I really just need to know what pump I will need to buy in order for the heat pump to kick on in low speed.
