Is $650 to add an additional pump for deck jet control a fair price?
Project Details
I recently had 6 deck jets installed with a Pentair system. Currently, I can only control 3 or all 6 jets at a time from the phone app, and I can't change the pressure. I want to be able to turn them on with my phone without manual intervention. My contractor suggested adding another pump to allow separate control of three or six jets via the app, but it still wouldn't allow pressure changes. This is proposed as the cheapest solution since I don't plan on using the cleaning system. The jets are not Laminar, and the current setup runs on one pump that also includes the spa.

This quote is for the installation of an additional, non-variable speed pump to enhance the control of six existing Pentair deck jets. - Purpose: To enable separate control of either three or all six deck jets via the Pentair phone app. - Current Limitation: Currently, the system only allows control of three or all six jets simultaneously, without the ability to switch between these configurations via the app. - Pressure Control: This additional pump will not provide the functionality to change the pressure of the deck jets from the app. - Context: This solution is proposed by the contractor as the cheapest option, especially since the homeowner does not plan on using the cleaning system. - Current Setup: The deck jets are currently run on one pump, which also includes the spa.
