Just finished redoing all my plumbing . What do you think? Pic

It took a while, but I think I got it.

Perfect! I've seen some highways like that.

Holy smokes! I will no longer comment on the difficulty I had putting mine in.

Whew!

You and schnozz need to get together and ponder your plumbing together.

Thanks everyone. The beauty of PVC is that they sell all these different angle joints. Eventually you will get to where you need to be. You don't even need a tape measure.

I'm self employed , why do you need some help? Things are a little slow here.

You need to update your sig, that isn't a sand filter in your new plumbing.

Yikes!

 

[borjis]

great scott! that is quite the setup.

 

[Schnozz]

Looking at all that work is making me anxious.....I keep repeating in my head. Two suction lines and a three way valve to the pump, two return lines and a three way valve to the pool......repeat, repeat, repeat. Serenity Now, Serenity Now....LOL

Really Nice work. Were you ever stationed on a submarine? That's what the piping looks like on one of those. Just curious

You showed that with glue and a bucket of spare PVC parts anything is possible!

Update - after testing, most of the joints leaked. It got me thinking what I did wrong. I bought the 2 pack of PVC glue and only used the purple stuff and stuck them together. Have a whole unopened can left. After doing a little reading, I think I have a hunch what is wrong. The purple stuff sure did smell good though.

Yup. The purple stuff is primer. Bummer. Primer first, then glue.

I like the clear primer and the clear glue. I like the speed of the clear too. Not too fast, not too slow.

I think you should tidy up that electrical wire catastrophe waiting to happen next.

I really need to fix these leaks. I will probably need to make a sketch of the pipes and number each piece so when I pull it all apart I will know how to put it back. This time I think I will just use Gorilla glue. That stuff will glue anything.

As far as the wires go, I'm not as comfortable with electrical as I am with PVC.

 

[pooldv]

I'd just duct tape the joints, it should hold fine since it is already primed.

Yep, I apologize to all. I was board so I thought I would bring a little humor to the pumping station. Don't worry. I'm done.

You roped me in!
