New pool, pump sizing with existing pump

[Joe_K]

Existing original builder pool from 1986, with a new pump because of lightning strike, Pentair Intelliflo VSF. HHP 1.88, THP 3.95, WEF 6.9.

I am getting the old pool removed and replaced with new pool. I want to make sure this pump is sufficient for the new pool with these water features. I know the pool contractor will do these calculations, but I would like to verify. Hoping someone can let me know if the pump is sufficient, without having to run it at full speed, etc. Thank you.

New Pool 12'x24', 3'-5.5' deep, 6'x'7' sun deck.
3 jets
skimmer
single 36" sheer waterfall
vacuum port with robotic cleaner
6 panel solar on roof of 1-story house
main drain is flush mount channel drain

The Intelliflo should be more enough for that setup.

The sheer should not need more than about 40 GPM and everything else is trivial.

On descent plumbing, the Intelliflo can provide over 100 GPM on full speed which will probably never be needed.

Thanks Mark.

Any idea what rpm would be needed. Currently running at 2600 rpm with following items:
7700 gal std pool
32 jets
skimmer
single 36" sheer waterfall
vacuum port with robotic cleaner via skimmer
6 panel solar on roof of 1-story house
main drain single, not flush is flush mount channel drain

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. There really is no easy answer. Trial and error is your best bet.
