My PB says he has made the calculations and that 3 hp is correct for this pool.
It would be interesting to try to make the calculations too, if for nothing else, to learn.
So, what are the parameters? We need to know the head. I dont know the PSI now, because the pump has not been run yet.
to get a 8h turnover, i need around 35-40 gpm flow, if i am thinking correctly. what other numbers do we need? i would assume we need to take distance from pool into account and height difference. The pump is 14 meter from the pool, and it is about 1,5 meter over the pool level. Pipe size is 2in.
The pool is now 50% full of water, i expect we start the pump on saturday. I tested the ph, its a little higher in the pool compared to the tap: around 8.
