Plumbing is happening today
I wanted to design an efficient pool. The information on this board was a great help. There are 3 supply lines (2 skimmer and main drain) that are 2". All the other lines are 2". I chose a cartridge filter to eliminate the head losses in the backwash valve (and because I hated dealing with the DE on my last pool). I also oversized the filter to make time between cleanings longer. I chose a variable speed pump so I can run it slowly the majority of the time for filtering. It will ramp up to power the pool cleaner, or run the sheer decent and bubblers.
I am hoping all this will keep the electric bills low. They are already high enough! On my last pool I had a single speed pump plus a booster for the cleaner. I ended up running the booster a lot because I had a lot of trees around the pool. Anyway, my electric bill from the pool was high.
