The other pool builder is giving me a bigger pump for the same price. So they are giving me a better deal right?
• Run Forest run! This is the classic sign that the builder is incompetent. Our service department replaces roughly 50 motors a year and half of that is because they were improperly sized by builders trying to lie there way into a sale. Plumbing size, length of the run and total dynamic head dictate the size of the pump. That all has to be calculated after the plumbing is done and all the 45’s, 90’s, tees, couplers and length of run is determined. But wait didn’t the plumbers bury that stuff before my builder ever saw it? We always allow ourselves the flexibility to come back and change the filter motor, accessory motor and or the blower motor hp sizing based on what the plumbing ended up being.
