Hi All,
We have an Intex Ultra Frame pool on our backyard. We used to live at a house with an in ground pool, and I had replaced the original Pacfab sand filter but still had it, as well as a Hayward Superflow pump. A also had the multiport valve, and 2 years ago plumbed the Intex with the above instead of the equipment that it came with. It is all installed on the ground.
Are there issues with using the setup this way? I obviously had to install valves to prevent water from rushing backwards every time I shut off the pump in order to open up the system.
I recently added a deck that goes all the way around the pool. I could relocate the equipment to above water level, but wonder of it is necessary...
As alway, any guidance will be appreciated!
Thanks,
David
