I am entertaining the idea of adding a 2nd skimmer to the 18x34 I have going in soon. It just seems like alot of pool for one skimmer.
My pump is a Powerline 1.5 HP (Doughboy) with a 24" sand filter. My PB told me it would cost an extra 900 if they did it because I would need a 2nd filter/pump.
My idea was to put my filter/pump equal distance between the two (on either end of the pool) and plumbing them to a "Y" and then to the pump. Will that work or will I need a strong pump and maybe bigger diameter pipe from the "Y" to the pump? Or, do I actually need a second pump/filter?
