Reconfiguration suggestions please!

Help me make this equipment jungle easier to work with! How should we reconfigure this?
Also, I HATE the “shed” we have housing the pump but I can’t figure out what to replace it with. Suggestions please!

Who put your pool equipment behind bars in jail?

What is the stainless steel tank for?

I,

Is your plan to replace all the equipment or just move things around???

Thanks,

Ha! That’s some of the fence around the pool. That was the easiest way to get the heater to fit without messing up the integrity of the fence.
The stainless steel tank is the secondary filter for the waterfall.

Just move stuff around so we can get to the panel easier make it so we can cover more equipment. We will leave the heater in the open for ventilation but I would like the filter and pump to be more enclosed.

Definitely want access to the panel (guessing s building code issue as well)... keep in mind that you'll probably have some maintenance to the system over time.

When we first moved here the piping was in place and I didn't have any options to move things. Replacing the thermopile on the previous heater (needed about once a yr) was a contortionists nightmare. Accessing the filter drain or a nearby spigot was a one-legged procedure... so when I went to rearrange my set-up; I laid things out where I wanted them for access foremost & then set about determining the best piping route (limiting elbows, where to place valves, unions, etc). Don't forget to keep in mind things like flow rate for heaters, chlorinators.

Best of luck as you plan for the upgrade.
