greytday Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 We are looking to build a pool northeast of Dallas, TX. I have a question regarding pool products that two builders are promoting. One is Pentair Pool Products and other is Jandi Pool Products. Is anyone familiar with either and has an opinion regarding these companies? Also, one company is stating for a 16,000 gallon pool, we will only need a 2hp motor. The other company (which hasn't finished the design) is promoting a 4 speed variable motor. Without knowing the pool gallon size, is this a bit of over kill? Thanks for any and all help. We are new to pool buying and new in trying to "wade" through this process as well.

Pathfinder Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Depending on the distance from the pool and the layout, you probably dont need a 2hp. Unless your running water features & multiple returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greytday Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Thanks for the info and will keep that in mind....still trying to find someone who can give me feedback on Jandi and Pentair Pool Products.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Both Jandy and Pentair/Sta-rite are extremely reliable products and either choice you can t go wrong. IMO they are equally matched in residential pool applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug mills Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Pathfinder is correct. Jandy and Pentair are both quality products. You may even consider asking about Hayward (Goldline) equipment as it is just as reliable, but costs less than both Jandy and Pentair. Although I would insist on Jandy NeverLube valves regardless of which equipment package you choose. A 2hp pump should be fine for your pool. If you are adding a spa, or other water features, they should have their own dedicated pump(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use Jandy pumps in our pools, they are a great company. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
