Hi all.
So I just upgraded all my equipment except heater..
new equipment are:
Pentair vs pump
Pentair intelichlor
Cartridge filter 525 sqft
...old heater is a oil burner it’s works great so it stays until it breaks.
Problem is flow... piping from pool and back is 1.5”... i adapted to 2” for above ground plumbing for equipment..the heater has 1 1/4” piping in and out... after boiler I installed a flowis meter ... at full pump speed 3450rpm I’m getting 25 gpm... my intellichlor needs 2300 rpm to work... at 2300 rpm I’m getting 20gpm... pool is 20000 gals.. at this rate I will need 16 hrs to turn pool over at 2300 rpm.. way to long.... my question is is the heater piping of 1 1/4” then going to 2” right after causing this low flow?? If so what are you opinions and options???
Thank you guys
