so i have a 10k gallon pool that has an attached elevated spa. It has 3 main drains (2" individual pipes) and one skimmer line (2") for suction and three 2" pipes that feed 5 returns and 6 spa jets... Since i have the intelliflo vsf, i am not sure how much gpm can the system take when i am in spa mode, that will convert the system into one 2" main drain and one 2" return pipe that supplies 6 jets. I am setting it up for 70 gpm but i am getting a warning on maximum pressure limit reached (30psi) and that lowers the flow to 65gpm. My filter gauge says 17 psi, this is the pentair cartridge 520sqft filter.
So my question is, what is the maximum safe levels a single pipe can handle? I would like to assign a number on the pump so i can use and maintain safe levels on the pipes when im using the spa only.
