This is my first post and I found this site when I was looking for remodeling info on the net, after weeks of reading I decided to register. You may be reading alot of questions from me because I just purchased an older house that has a sprinkler system, shallow well, swimming pool, and the house needs some remodeling. Thanks for a great site playersc.
I have an Aermotor 1hp pump that runs my sprinkler system that I just rebuilt and installed a jet kit, my pump max pressure went from 43 to 53psi. My question is can this same idea be applied to my inground swimming pool pump a jet kit (homemade) to give me more suction say when I want to vaccum the pool. My thoughts were where the pipe 90's out the ground and goes straight into the pump, replace the 90 with a tee and take a 1/2 or 3/4" pipe from the discharge side (after the sand filter) into the end of the tee to help create more suction. Will this work?
