I have a 15'x30'x48" above ground pool. I recently bought a Hayward HP21104T HeatPro 110k BTU heat pump (I know, overkill, but we may be getting a different pool in the future). I was assured there would be no issues hooking it up to my system. All existing piping is 1.5" and the new heat pump has 2" connections. I just wanted to verify with someone else that putting 1.5"x2" adapters at the entry/exit to the heat pump to connect to my existing system would not cause any issues.

Also, the new heat pump specs list a minimum ampacity of 35a and a max fuse size of 60a. It seems that a lot of people I have read info from are putting these on 60a breakers, but I don't see the need for more than a 40a breaker (running 8 gauge copper). Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.
