Max Distance from Pool to Pump/Filter/Heater

[barmentr]

I'm putting in a new pool and I would like to locate the pump, filter, and heater in an existing building which is about 60 feet from one corner of the 20x40 pool.

Would this be too far away?
What is the maximum recommended distance for plumbing runs to and from the pool?

Thanks for the help,
Brent

There is really no limit to how far the equipment can be from the pool but there are consequences. The longer the runs, the more head loss there is in the plumbing and the less efficient the pump will be. You can compensate some by using larger pipes and/or multiple runs. For that length, I would use at least 2.5" pipe and have separate runs for each suction port (e.g. skimmer, main drain pair, cleaner, etc).
