I'm having a 3900 gallon IG fiberglass exercise pool installed. The pool builder just delivered the equipment which is sitting in my back yard. Problem is it is altered from what we contracted for.
They delivered a 1.5 HP tri-star 2-speed pump, which I know is over sized for the pool. They should have delivered a 1HP max-flo 2-speed max. This I plan on getting them to correct because I don't want to pay more on my utilities for the over sized pump.
My question is that they also delivered a 325 sqft swim clear cartridge filter instead of the 225 sqft filter we spec'd. I assume they up-sized to the 325 sqft because of the larger pump. I had thought the 225 sqft filter was already pretty over sized for the pool size already. Is it possible to oversize the filter too large? Should I get them to downsize the filter to the originally spec'd 225 sqft?
Thanks for replies, I want to catch this before they try installing it.
