Addendum to original post. My current (failing) pump is a PAC FAB Centurion 8-168345-25. I cant find specific data on it but I just read something saying 1.5 hp pool pumps are typically always 1-1/2" inlet/outlets - so I may be mistaken on that point in my original post. However, the questions still stand:
1) Does having 1-1/2" inlet/outlets on the pump negate any benefit of having 2" pipes in the equipment pad (where the intake and return 1-1/2" pipes are combined into 2" fittings)?
2) If the pump has 1-1/2" inlet/outlets and the other pad equipment all have 2" ports/2" pipes, does inserting a 6" long 1-1/2" pipe (leading into the chlorinator) have any impact on flow rate since the pump's inlet/outlets are 1-1/2"?
