I bought a house in the fall with an old, in-ground pool. It is probably 30+ years old and in need of all new equipment and eventually cosmetic things as well. My goal is to replace all the equipment (heater, filter, pump - 100% of it) in the next few months, then over the next few years save up for and do the necessary big ticket items like replaster, and repour the pool deck.
The pool is a 20x40 w/ step, I calculate ~32,000 gallons at avg depth of 6ft (3 at shallow end, 9 at deep end). There are 3 supply jets, 2 skimmers, and 1 main drain. All piping is combined somewhere under the pool deck, and there is only a 2" PVC and 1.5" PVC coming to and from the pool.
I am looking at the following equipment:
Pump: Pentair Intelliflo3 3HP w/I/O 0011076
Heater: Raypak Avia 399k BTU natural gas Nitek 018045_A
Salt System: Circupool RJ60 Plus
Filter: VEVOR Cartridge 425sf
I mostly want to know if the above primary components are all compatible and decent (i know the filter is a no-name, but the others are higher quality/cost, and a filter is a filter...). I believe flow rates are all compatible, and the nitek version of the raypak should be longer lasting than the copper HX.
I am seeking unsolicited advice from anyone with much more experience than me.
One other topic - I am relocating this equipment as part of this replacement, and am interested in what else to plan to include in my equipment pad/shed. Right now ill have:
1. a dedicated 240v circuit for the pump
2. a 120v circuit for the heater/salt system/wifi/whatever else
3. a gas supply line for the heater
4. a hose bib water supply
5. a nearby drain connected to my french drain/stormwater system
