I have an old 2hp P4RA6G Sta Rite Pump that needs replaced. The in and out pipe is 2" in diameter. The current pump puts out 125gpm. The pool spills over into a fountain feature well, but not enough water flows over the edge. How many gpm can I send through sch40 2" pvc? Any pump recommendations? Thanks in advance.
 
Welcome to TFP :)

These new VSF pumps are wonderful at saving money and moving water when needed, they are 2.7hp and will work great in your 2 inch pipe...


I just changed to a 1.67 VS pump and run mine at 800 rpm/30 watts and 1300 rpm/100 watts when running my salt water generator.. :)
