Hi everyone,
I would greatly appreciate some feedback as I haven't been able to come to a conclusion from doing my own research. note that i'm a complete rookie never having had a pool before.
I'm going to be installing the Leisure Pools 26' Elegance model, I calculate that it holds approx. 13,000 gallons, so on the smaller side. Not sure if this is also relevant, but I plan to install the 'spa nook' jets and am possibly going to install a water feature wall with one 4' wide waterfall. I will be getting a variable speed pump.
The installer said they install 2" pipe on the suction side and 1.5" on the return. from trying to read as much as I could find, it seems that it's good to go at least 2" for both suction and return, but at the same time I've read that the size of the pool also factors into pipe size. So i'm wondering, on a pool this size, and with the spa nook jets and possible water feature, is the 2" suction and 1.5" return a good choice? hopefully I provided enough information for some feedback.
thanks in advance for any feedback.
