And a Happy New Year to all.
We have been in Stuart, FL for a year now and have finally decided on a Spa with a pool. Was going to go Owner Build but I don't think I have it in me, physically so, after meeting with about 10-12 different PBs and getting 7-8 quotes, this is what we landed on. I found that if you deviate from the norm, some PBs don't want to work with you or they price it so high the opposite is true.
The quote needs some explanations. "Lucy, you got some 'splaning..." I digress.
The 7'x7' (inside dims) Spa will have 20 Jets. I have a plan so fear not, haha. If I put 12@10GPM Jets on a loop (combination of 3-jet manifolds and single jets, for the back) and then put 8@15GPM single Jets (for calves and feet) on a different loop (both each totalling 120 GPM, which should be totally doable), AND if at the Equip Pad, the loops are connected to a 3-way valve so they can run from the same pump and NOT be active at the same time, so either the back jets are on OR the leg jets are on both never both at the same time. what are the chances that would that work?
Spa will be heated via main pool pump/filter/SWG with 2 returns on a separate loop.
AirPort is a deck mounted Air intake and "Muffler", that can support up to 12 jets without a blower. I may run PVC from them back to the Pad and cap off both ends just in case these don't work and we need to put in a blower, at least I won't have to dig up the all the Decking.
Water depths will be measured from the TOP of the tile to the top of the main drain. So, when I asked him to change to middle of Skimmer, he said rather than change the Contract, he would increase all the depths by 3" go figure?
I don't have any plumbing diagrams yet but in theory, can this Spa setup work with the Jandy 2.7HP VS Pump and 3" PVC both on Suction and Return sides? Pad will be about 35-40 feet from Spa?
thanks
