So we just bought a house with a pool and I’m figuring I may as well replace the equipment because it looks poorly installed and pretty old - plus it was in my budget and if I don’t spend it my wife will...
it’s a rectangular pool 28 x 14 and I’m guessing average depth is going to be between 5-6ft just going off internet averages (you can’t see the bottom and we bought it right before the holidays and promptly left to visit family). So I figure 18000 gallons give or take.
I’ve looked at pentair and was leaning that way until I came across Circupool and then this forum which seems to point to them being a decent brand. I had a chat with discountpools and they recommended the following based on my pool size
smartflo 1.5hp pump
Rj 30 salt system
Cj150 filter
would love to know if this is a good start for me or should I be going up a spec on the pump and /or salt system.
As I delve into the world of pool ownership, salt systems and pumps, it seems the recommendation is to size up.
Am I sized up enough at their recommendations?
thank you for any guidance here as I start this journey of pumps filters and chemicals
