ADDING A WATER FEATURE...pump

[scratchedup]

I have a pretty standard 18 x 36 pool with 1.25 HP pump on 2" line. Polaris 3/4 HP motor. Standard size sand filter ?

Pumps are below water level by ~ 4'.

The water feature will have 3 outlets and will be on top of pool deck and will prob use a 3/4HP dedicated motor at the below water level location. Supply water will need to be pumped up hill ~ 5' + ~ 40' run.

? Where can I tap in for supply water or do I need a ($$$) dedicated new supply. If I tap into the skimmer or the main drain return at the pump area can I run my feature (additional) pump simultaneously with the main filter and polaris pumps? Or is this just not possible?

Wow that looks great Did you diy?

What did you end up for a pump and plumbing?

Ened up pretty standard---
Plumbing and electric was DIY, Stone work- paid a mason friend, gas line paid to run yellow flex line off house.

2" pipe with a 1 1/2" adapter off the Super Pump.

(Two pipe fittings threaded into and out of pump...no leakeee vs main pump and polaris that have leaked for 13+ years with "professional" install...)



This was a crazy idea of mine...a big shock absorber + the two support legs are just 2" "T's"... input welcome...



Casualty... Someone "turned off system" by shutting off the valves leaving the motor to run all night...
