Minimum 2 pumps is best. Most single pump spas will be under powered and usually you will have to divert the pump pressure to one area/seat to get any enjoyment and the other seats be dammed. A 7' spa with a lounger will really only seat 3 adults comfortably. 1 person in the lounger and one in each corner seats. Yes there are 2-3 other seats but you will have to squeeze another person in and the foot well will be real touchy feely. Without the lounge you can have one person in each corner and yes it will be touchy feely but not as bad. Don't buy a spa because you might have friends over. Buy based on your needs and make do with the rare occasion friends show up. If you are the party hub and will have a heavy bather loads get an 8' spa. IMO bigger is better and if you have the space and can swing the budget I will recommend an 8' spa every time. Just so nice to have the extra space.

No need to if everything works correctly.I filled mine thru the filter opening as recommended by many people but forgot to move the hose to the other filter opening (I have one filter for each pump). Therefore, pump 1 was fine but pump 2 got air bound and wasn't moving water.
