We just signed our pool contract, which will start construction in April. We have most of the details sorted out, but have not made a final decision on automation or pool pumps.
For Pool, Spa, Bubblers + waterfall, we have 2 3HP pumps, and a 2.7 HP waterfall pump planned. Looking at the reviews online it seems that Hayward automation is a bit newer and nicer. But I'm wondering what the opinions are on Pentair vs Hayward pumps? Is the Pentair pump worth the worse automation?
My main concern is noise, as the pool equipment is very close to our pool and patio. We build a pool in 2015 at our old house and the Hayward VS pump was rather loud. However my pool contractor said that Haywards recently went under a redesign and are a lot better now, is this true?
