Good day and I will appreciate your help and advice reg right circulation pump selection.
We are engineering infinity pool outdoors with glass front wall, just for decor purposes, not for swimming.
Pool basin volume: 2,5 m3.
Weir length: 11 meters.
Weir head crest/ glass wall width: 0,5 meters.
Waterfall effect: just wet glass , with water sheet = 3 mm.
Weir flow rate: 11,8 m3/hour.
Plumbing trass/ route: appr. 8 meters, 4 meter vertical and 4 meter horizontal .
The qystion is whether 13 m3/hour pump will be enough, not to lose water head at the below glass?
Thanks in advance,

Re: CIRCULATION PUMP selection for infinity pool
This is not a question, you are talking 13m3/hour flow rate pump when the real issue is can the pump supply a suitable flow at 4mtrs head plus what ever restrictions your plumbing run applies? That can be determined by looking at pump performance charts as all pumps vary.
