Hi all,
My PB said he'd install any pool equipment that I choose so I'm busy designing my system. We'll order everything soon so please comment.
Suggested Layout:
POOL:
Pittsburgh, PA
23,000 gal in-ground
2 colorlogic LED lights
2 skimmers
3 returns from loop 1
4x Jandy deck jets
18" sheer decent waterfall
Equipment pad is about 10' above and 30' away from the pool.
AUTOMATION:
Easytouch Pool OR Spa with IC40 salt cell - #520705
Screenlogic - #522104
LOOP#1:
Pentair VS Pump - 3hp Intelliflo - #011018
Pentair Cartridge Filter - 420sq ft - #CCP420
Raypak Heater - 400k - Cupro Nickle - Nat Gas - #014941
Pentair Salt Cell - IC40 - comes with Easytouch Power Center
Actuator for 3-way valve
LOOP#2:
Pentair VS Pump - 3hp Intelliflow - #011018
Actuator for 3-way valve
QUESTIONS:
- It was recommended that I get the 'Pool OR Spa' rather than the Pool AND Spa' - even though it's $200 more (cheaper due to popularity). With landscape lights, that will use 7 of 8 available relays.
- I'm choosing NOT to add a cartridge filter on Loop 2. The suction ports are 4' deep in the deep-end so the water should be clean anyway.
- Is a 3hp pump necessary for Loop #2? The fine salesman at Pool Supply Warehouse said it is but I'm 2nd guessing that. He said with the pad being above the pool, I need at least 2hp. And that I'd want the control of a VS over a SS to control the deck jets and waterfall levels.
