Hello everyone. I will be building a pool soon and need to choose the right pump. The pool will be a sport pool, 3' deep on the ends and 5' deep in the center, about 14,000 gallons. There will be an oval shapped spill over spa 8' by 6'6" (not sure how many gallons), I want plenty of jets. I will have a small waterfall and a suction side cleaner(no trees in the pool area). The filter will be a 60 sq ft DE (desigh flow rate is 120 gpm). The heater will be 400k BTU. I am leaning toward the Jandy E 2 HP pump, it is variable speed (this pump has a 3" suction port). I like the idea of having only one pump if it will work properly. The plumbing will be a combination of 3", 2.5" and 2" with two skimmers. I will use a SWG. The equipment pad will be about the same elevation as the pool and only about 80' from the farthest end of the pool, the spa will be about 60' away at most.
Will this pump operate all of the functions of my pool and spa? How many jets should I put in the spa?
If not, would two pumps be the way to go? Which pump or pumps are recommended?
I will set up my signature when I have all of the details for my pool. I appreciate all recommendations and comments.
