I tried searching but came up dry. My PB proposes 2" schedule 40 pipe but when I asked about angles he talked about using some 90 degree piping. The pool will be small, about 5500 gallons with an intelliflo. Will this be o.k.?
You can use 2 45s instead of a 90 to avoid using 90s.
JamesW said:It depends on the pipe length, flow rate and water velocity. You don't want to put the full flow capacity of the IntelliFlo through 2-inch PVC.
I recommend a maximum of 63 GPM through a 2-inch PVC suction with any 90s, and 73GPM if the suction pipe will not have 90s.
I recommend a maximum of 73 GPM through a 2-inch PVC return with any 90s, and 83GPM if the return pipe will not have 90s.

What flow rate do you expect to use?
What is the distance of the pump and filter from the pool?
