    Ok so I don't have to worry about getting enough water to the waterfalls. Do I need a rock catch behind each waterfall or because it's already going through filter do I not have to worry about that?

    @ajw22 Thanks for all the info. Just spoke with the plumber onsite and he is doing dual 2.5" suctions in case I do want to add a 2nd pump later dedicated to the waterfalls. I believe they are having everything go out through the filter and then out. However, you brought up another question...

    Advice needed on my new pool

    Why won't a Pentair Intelliflo VSF work? You can control the speed or the GPM on it which should work fine for water features and it has 3hp which is more than enough right?

    Thanks for the info. So question where does load calculation come in? Does load calculations use watts determine breaker size? If so I'll be using about 11,000 watts divided by 240v that would be rounded up a 50amp breaker to feed the subpanel right? This is what I've seen in load calculators...
