Question

Should i use a 1hp or 2hp pump to power the jets in my spa?

Answer 1

the HP rating is meaningless..its the flow curve of pump...but generally,if you have big 2" plumbing you can go higher in flow than if you have 1 1/2" plumbing..here is a good page called "choosing the right pump" : http://www.swimming-pool-information.com...

Answer 2

Do you have a portable spa or an inground spa? Also what size spa and how many jets does it have?

Most portable spas and stand alone inground spas only need 1/2 - 3/4 HP Pump

If your operating both a pool (20000-25000 gal.) and spa on the same pump you would probably need about 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 HP pump.
