We just completed a new pool build. 14,300 gallons, pool, spa, 2” plumbing, spa overflow, two non-laminar deck jets and two bubblers with 3 pool returns.
As of now we are trouble shooting all of the water features. I have the Intelliflo pump at speed 4, 3100 rpm I think. One bubbler works well, the other is pretty sad. The deck jets barely shoot into the pool and we removed the eyeball on the spa returns for added volume to the spillover. I’m fearing I may have to go back and add a second pump.
The plumber came back and said that he can add a second pump pretty easily and use the vac line as a suction point and tie into the spa. So one pump will run the spa and spa returns/spillover, and the Intelliflo will run the two bubblers, two deck jets, and 3 pool returns.
As of now I’m at 3450rpm and I barely have any spillover and the bubblers are pretty weak.
Any recommendations for a feature pump that may be a bit lighter on the electrical load as well? The Intelliflo pump is great but I don’t need a 3hp pump and I’m having a hard time figuring out pentair’s product line for variable speed pumps that are around 2hp.
Thank you all for the input
