I do not have a SWG. Started the process to rebuild the manifold. Got some heavy rain (much needed) that cut the work short. Hope to finish up tonight.

Attached are some pics of the old valve and new setup. The return manifold pipes are a bit offset, so they were previously plumbed with 3 90s. I will be replacing those 90s with some spa flex, but not sure if I need to or should replace the valve. It would provide on/off for the 3 returns. I...

I have a non-fused safety disconnect for my pool equipment. I am upgrading to a Pentair 011028 Intelliflo VS pump and want to add a surge protector as extra insurance for the new pump. I purchased the PS3000 and was going to install it on the non-fused safety disconnect that feeds the pool...
