ok thanks that was very helpful, however is the 3/4 HP going to be able to handle backwashing a 300lb sand filter in my 14x28 pool with no struggles?
Or should I just be safe a purchase the 1HP TriStar Hayward?......since its energy efficient, can I assume that the 1HP TriStar will save me as much or more money throughout the season than just a 3/4 Hayward SuperPump?
Here's another question, Im a big stickler for performance stats and high end equiptment but I dont think I want to spend the cash now on the top of the line Pumps, Heat Pumps, Filtering system, Salt Water, etc......Rather than keep haggling with the pool builders to price me out the pool package with all of the better equiptment then they are offering in their cart blanc, would it be wise for me to just take their basic package and slowly upgrade to the better equiptment as I see fit?
I would like to get it all from the beginning, but it seems like the builders are almost doubling the price of all the premium upgraded equiptment then what it actually is retailing for all over the internet. So I am thinking, I can probablly save alot down the road by just purchasing the peices individually later on.
Are most of the filters, pumps, Heat Pumps, Salt generators pretty easily replaceable and interchangeable once they are initially plumbed?
Sorry if I asked too many questions
