I received a quote from a pool builder for an IG fiberglass pool with Hayward equipment. I asked for a revised quote with Pentair equipment (the PB works with both), and it came out $8K more expensive (?!). The reason I prefer Pentair pump is because it can be installed 10 ft above the water line and is supposedly much quieter.
Does this make any sense? What should the difference be, if at all?
Hayward equipment:
* Hayward Tri-star VS 950
* Hayward AquaRite T Cell 940
* Hayward Swim clear Multi 425 Sq. Ft. Filter
* Hayward Heater - 400,000 BTU H400FDN
* 4 Hayward LED color lights
Pentair equipment:
* Pentair Intelliflo VSF pump,
* Pentair IC40 ( Intellichlor) Salt Chlorinator,
* Pentair Cartridge Filter 450,
* Pentair 400,000 BTU NG Heater
* 4 Pentair LED color lights
