Hard Plumbing Advice

[miked19]

Hi Everyone,

Here's what I have:
- Waterway Clearwater II with 1 1/2" MPT x 1 1/2" Male Smooth Hose adapter
- Rheem R266 with 2" x 2 1/2" water connections
- Skimmer and return are 1 1/2"

The plan is to install a heater bypass and hard plumb all the connections. Should I use 1 1/2" or 2" Sched 40 PVC for all plumbing?

Hey Mike, I used 2 inch and unless you really want to stay 1.5 inch I would say use 2 inch.. for the 1.5 connections in the skimmer and pump I used these
