Putting AGP pump 25 feet away from skimmer - possible?

[airforcematt]

When I installed my above ground pool I didn't put much thought into where I put the skimmer. Long story short, now that I am wiring it up correctly I find myself in a situation where the safest place (electrically) to put the pump is about 25 feet away from said skimmer - straight shot thankfully.

Is this something that I could feasibly do with the size pump and filter I have now? If so, what size pipe would I need to look at using?

1 Hayward Pump (60 GPM)
19in SD40 Sand Filter

Your pump will go 25’ fine.

What is the size output of the pump and size input of the skimmer? If all 2” then use 2”.

Sizes are 1.5in across the board, does that cause an issue?

Use 1.5” then. Should be fine.

Awesome, thanks! This will allow me to get my wiring outside of the 10' range of the pool after all

You going to be able to bury the PVC pipes?

Yep! Was thinking about leaving them above ground but they would be a pain to mow around so going to go ahead and bury them.

We did that for our equipment several years ago and it works great. My husband used 1 1/2" gray electrical plastic conduit which is more UV resistant than other PVC and has bigger/wider bends for less resistance. We have 1 hp pump and it has great circulation. All pipes buried and located about 15ft away from the pool. The last pic is while I was standing next to the pool looking at the back corner of our lot.
