Here is some more detail.
Equipment is less than 25 feet from pool. Aqua Rite SWG. Option for Goldline Aqua Logic automation AQL-PS-4, add $2,400Think I will buy the sub panel and do that myself. Spa has 6 - 1 1/2" Theraputic Hydrobody jets plus a 1 1/2" center fountain. They heat form PVC so as not to have too many 90's. Each jet outlet is homerun. Doing the calcs, I came up with 25 gpm for a 6 hour turnover based on size. For filtration only, a 2 HP is, IMO, way overkill. It would turn over in less than 2 hours and I don't think that's enough time per day to have a pump run. PB doesn't think it's an issue.
I considered a Pentair Intelliflo but can't find a lot of feedback on it. For that kind of money I would be more comfortable if I had more info.
This company has a great track record and the owner personally visits each jobsite and has been great in answering my questions and concerns. He will do anything I want to do; I just need to get a game plan.
