Hi, this is my first post, so hopefully its in the correct forum.
I'm about to sign a contract to build a pool. The PB is insisting on using a 2hp variable speed pump + 2hp air blower for the 8 jet spa as well as the rest of the pool (~26k gallons). The other pump is going to be dedicated to the three sheer descents.
Is one pump enough for pool + spa? Should I be getting a dedicated spa pump to power the jets? PB intends to plumb the spa so that the water going into jets will pass through filter/heater. Is that going to cause problems? He claims Jandy's ok with this configuration and he's been doing this for years w/o issues. Is the water coming out of the jets going to be too hot when the heater is on?
Thanks!
