They are here starting up the pool. One thing I was surprised at is that the bubblers are hooked to the main pump. I assumed and am pretty sure I was told that they would be tied to the waterfall pump so they could be controlled with the automation. Anybody have any thoughts on that?
To me it seems strange to have the bubblers on every time the pump is running.
I originally requested that bubblers and deck jets be on the feature pump and selected and a second 3hp VS Pentair XF22005 pump. PB said they should be on the circulation pump as he said there wouldn't be enough power to run anything but 3 sheers.
I agreed to the bubblers on the circulation pump as I wasn't a member of TFP at that time to learn about aeration. But I insisted the deck jets be on the feature pump. PB did not listen and installed those on the circulation pump too.
I am ok with bubblers on the circulation pump as on the low speed I run the pump most of the time they are very low.
But I told the PB I want the deck jets changed to the feature pump and he still won't change it saying not enough power. I can run the sheers ok on speed 2 (1500 rpm) and excellent on speed 3 so I have plenty of power. PB signed the plumbing diagram for the deck jets on the feature pump and it says "subject to change in the field". So this will be a bad situation before final payment on pool coming up.
Also somewhat unrelated, but something no one on TFP seems to have is a U loop from the circulation pump to the inline chlorinator that I never asked for and don't want. He won't change that either, even though I told him I would be adding a SWG later.
