I have received my pool equipment list and I want feedback from you all. In reading on this forum it seems that a variable speed pump on the pool is the best pump. My PB called and told me that Jandy has been having issues with the VS Pumps which is why he recommended the Jandy FloPro 2.0 FHPM2.0. I certainly don't want anything installed that I have been warned has issues. Or is my PB feeding me a line?
My pool has a lot of piping. My PB is a plumbing mastermind.
PUMPS -
Pool - Jandy FloPro 2.0 FHPM2.0 This pump will mainly be responsible for the pool filtration and then can operate in spa mode.
Spa - Jandy Stealth SHPF3.0. This pump will be able to run the spa only ( no spillway function ). We did this so that we can heat the spa without heating the pool. We have two sets of drains in the spa floor. Our spa is 8' inside diameter and with 10 jets.
Waterfall - Jandy Stealth SHPF3.0. We will have ( 3 ) 36" CMP Natural Wonders Waterfalls and (2) bubblers in the Baja shelf. PB has added additional 2" pipe returns to the spa so if I only want to my 3 waterfalls and my spillway of my spa I can use this pump for that. I will be able to valve off the spa or the waterfalls or the bubblers and any combination. Each waterfall will have a Jandy valve.
My spa has a lot going on. There are two sets of drains. One set (2" piping ) to pool pump and one set ( 3" piping ) to dedicated spa pump. There are three sets of returns. The return (4) from the heater are in the footwell walls. The set of returns from the spa pump is in the jets(10) in the backs of the seating area. The last set of returns are from the waterfall pump. This is to allow more water volume if we really want to hear and see the splash. The spillway on the spa is 48"; wide and the spa is elevated 18".
