We're in the development stages for our more permanent setup for our intex pool this year. Last year we stuck the pool on the most (naturally) level spot in our yard, which turned out to be more shady than I liked. This year we've moved it to a sunnier spot and had to level that area.
It turns out that the ideal spot is about 15ft too far from our existing electrical outlet. Even moving said outlet to the closest spot on our deck will leave us about 6 feet short. This means either extending electrical by burying cable and installing a new outlet closer to the pool, or locating the pump nearer the deck and extending plumbing.
We're running an intex pump & sand filter rated at 1050gph. The total plumbing run would be about 30ft. My concerns with this option is the effect on the pump's turnover rate.
Anyone have suggestions or other options I haven't considered. We're likely to upgrade to a larger pool in 2 years or so, which may mean adjusting things a bit then.
