Hello we are installing 2 bubblers on our baja and 3 laminars. What type of pump should we add for these? Or should we just come off of our Pentair variable speed. All pipes will come up in the red square.

Will you have a new dedicated suction line for these water features? If not, you should not have 2 pumps drawing from the same suction line.
Another point. It appears you have a spa but hard to see all the plumbing. Do you wish to operate these features when in spa mode? If so, that will not be feasible with a single pump because your filter pump will be dedicated to suction from spa and return to spa only.
I see there is amother pump but it is not indicated what that is for.

Thank you so much for the info. Yes we do have a spa and the 2nd pump is for the spa jets. We are in the middle of a pool and backyard remodel so I had them put in an extra suction just in case. So we will have one available. We are not set on running the features while in spa mode so that is why I’m a bit torn on spending the extra for another pump.
Laminars can be finicky to obtain the proper flow. There are numerous threads on the forum about laminars. Ensure you know the gpm design requirement of each. You have 2 methods to set it up, take the bypass directly after the pump (before the filter) direct to the laminars. If you opt for this setup, consider a small inline filter to capture any debris. The second is to make it a separate line next to the other return lines. Take a look at threads at bottom of page noted as “Similar Threads”
