Pump sizing query
I've been shopping for a two speed pump and have looked at some online pool schools to try to get the right size. For about 27000 gal and 8hr turnover, I figure I need about 56gpm minimum flow rate. My max plumbing flow is 73gpm and best flow rate for my filter would be about 72gpm. Thus the ideal flow rating should be 72/73gpm. Have I done that right? I've been looking at the Whisperflo 2hp uprated and 2hp full rated but haven't been able to find what their flow rates are. Can anyone help guide me here, or could I drop back to a 1.5hp? I don't think I can swing the extra dinero for Intelliflo. I'm assuming a TDH in the 60s. Thanks! Hal
