Hello all!
I've skimmed multiple threads, and researched online, but wanted to come to you all for advice. Im in the middle of an owner build pool spa combo and I feel like some of the recommendations for equipment were a bit overkill.
My pool is 12x30 and 3.5' - 6.0' deep. (approx. 13,000 gallons over estimated)
my spa is 7' x 7' with a small spill over into pool.
I was originally going all Hayward but have recently switched to Pentair...
Pump - Pentair Intelliflo VSF 3hp (Already purchased)
Filter - Pentair Clean & Clear 420 (Can I go down to a 320?) (I live in the city in a tract development with little dirt in my yard)
Heater - Pentair Mastertemp 400 (Can I go down to 300?) (My main use for heater is to heat the spa in winter when outdoor temp is 45-55 degrees. Also heat the pool in spring months, but only to take pool temp from 72 degrees to like 78 degrees when outdoor high temps are in mid 70's.
Automation - I'm so confused and lost on this its unreal!! Im looking to be able to control, pool and spa lights, heater, SCG, water features. I will have 2 fire bowls and a fire pit but I don't believe those have anything to do with Pentair automation? Id like to be able to access the automation via iPhone.
Water festures Pump - Superflo? Whisperflo?
Thanks in advance !!
Thomas
