Hi Everyone,
New to the forum. We are a year into building a new home, workshop, pool, pool house and outdoor covered kitchen on 6 acres. Our builder did not subcontract out to a pool contractor as he had experience with pool builds. So, a different architectural company put together our pool plans as our main engineering firm did not do pools. Unfortunately the way they set up the pool equipment plumbing plan did not take into account all of the equipment and automation we wanted. In order to revise the plans they want to charge us for a whole new set of plans. The house plumber is doing the pool plumbing and we've been reassured that the plumber has experience with pool plumbing, but he is vague on what needs to go where with all the equipment and plumbing. The gunite and water line tile is complete with all the plumbing rough ins. They are going to begin running all the pvc pipes in about a week. I am attaching the pool plumbing plan we received from the architectural firm (identifying information blocked). I am hoping that the many experts on this forum can assist with the way the pool equipment plumbing layout should look like. The disconnect between the plan and our equipment is listed below.
What we wanted:
Pentair Intelliflo VSF pump for the pool only
Pentair Whisperflo 1HP for the water/fire feature only
Pentair Quad DE High Flow Filter (60 Sq Ft, 120 GPM)
Pentair MasterTemp 125 Low NOx Pool Heater - 125,000 BTU
Pentair Intellichlor Salt Chlorine Generator (IC20)
Pentair Easytouch Automation
Glacier Ice Block Residential Pool Cooler - 30 GPM - 20,000 Gallons
What was listed in the plan:
Pentair Intelliflo VSF pump
Pentair TR-140C Sand Filter (Shared with Water Feature)
Pentair Ultratemp Heat Pump
Pentair Intellichlor Salt Chlorine Generator
Pentair Easytouch Automation (optional)
Since we wanted 2 pumps instead of one where should the water sources come from for each pump, the skimmer, main drain, vac line. With two pumps do they both go to the filter, heater, cooler or would the water feature pump bypass the filter, heater, cooler, salt chlorinator. Also with the Pentair Easytouch is that the same as the Pentair Easytouch with IC20 and 8 relays?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
