If you look at my pic above your post:
9 o'clock position is the input flow from the pump (to the left) of where standing to take the picture.
12 o'clock is the gauge.
3 o'clock is the backwash output.
6 o'clock in the return to the pool.
My equipment pad is 10' feet from my pool which is in-ground, so the relation of the system wont help you. I wish I could help you more and tell you which way the valve top fits your model.[/quote
what I meant about in relation to your pool is what side does your pool feed to your pump if you are standing in a particular /named place and where does your outflow back into your pool in relation to that same position. that would help me as no matter what model it should have and input to pump and filter and an outflow from filter to pool as well as a backwash, the filter itself should only have three hose opening for inflow, outflow and backwash and my question is if standing in a specific place could you tell me which one of those points flows to your pool and if that pipes runs to your left, to your right that thing, but seriously thanks so much for all your help and for responding it all helps no matter what
