I'm glad to be here. We've had a pool for about 9 years (24' round above ground) and just decided to replace it with it an inground vinyl. We just went along with whatever the previous owners had done for the pool and didn't give it much thought. With our new pool, I decided to look into which pump would be ideal and found you guys. Wow, I had NO idea there was so much to learn. I've looked through many, many threads so far. We live in the Austin, TX area and have lower energy costs so I'm leaning toward a dual speed pump. I am most interested in the inyopools.com PureLine Prime Digital Dual Speed Pool Pump 1.4 HP PL2607 since it has an integrated controller/timer. I am currently lost trying to figure out 'feet of head' to right size the pump. I know the equipment pad is going to be about 35' from the pool but have no idea how much piping there will be. I do know we'll have a skimmer, three inlets, a main drain and 24" Hayward Top Mount Pro Sand Filter. The pool itself will be small, engineering drawings show 7871 gallons. I'm trying to determine if I REALLY need to figure out of the amount of piping or just go with the 1.4 HP since we have so few gallons and would appreciate any inputs.
Thanks in advance,
Raegan
