Pre Construction - Equipment Advice

[keschete]

I am breaking ground next week and my pool/spa combo is 16 x 22. I am using all Pentair and I went with a Challenger 1.5 HP 2 speed pump for the pool and my pool builder includes a 2 hp Challenger pump, seperate for the spa, that runs it specifically. You don't need the variable speed, as long as you have a 2 speed that you can set on low. That should save you money.

I am also putting in the Intellichlor and a 24" sand filter. I am using a Pentair Master temp gas heater. Hope this helps.

I have 7 returns on 16 X 40 .. add returns and make sure the pipe circles the entire pool for proper flow to each return . I have Tee and 2 main drains on the return line
