Plumbing config

[mmcguire]

Have you considered using two speed pumps? I have just configured my pool with a similar setup to yours. I have about the same size pool with a 2/0.5 2-speed on the filter and a 1.5/0.33 2-speed on the waterfall/slide. I figure I'll run the pool at low speed through a sand filter almost exclusively. The waterfall will have subtle/sunami selectability with the 2-speed. My pool will be filled at the end of next week. I'll be glad to share how it worked out if you're interested.

Yes I would like to see how yours work. Basically I want to be able to run my waterfall, spa jets, and filtering setup all seperatly. I want to be able to control the flow of my waterfall and the speed of my spa jets.

You can use gate valves or jandy type valves to control the flow to the waterfall. Use a jandy type 3 way to control the return and drain to the pool and spa and you can do it with one pump and filter. You can use a blower to 'supercharge' the spa jets.

Okay so I downgraded the pipe and pump sizes. I also added what the equiptment will be. What are the issue you see with this setup?



Thanks for the help.

I am about to purchase the equiptment in the diagram above (last post on page 1). Are my pump sizes okay?
