While I have done basic PVC plumbing in the past, I need a little help with some pool plumbing. I have purchased a new Pentair Intelliflo VS pump and will be replacing an old Pentair Challenger Single-Speed. My concern is about how to go about plumbing the inlet to the new pump, since there is...

I had a new Pentair 300k btu propane heater installed today to replace the 20-year old oil fired unit that was here when we bought the house. I have not been able to heat the pool with it yet as I am waiting on the gas bottle hookup. But the one thing I immediately noticed was that the pressure...
