Another couple of questions. I've always repaired pool plumbing with schedule 40 PVC pipe from Home Depot, is there a made for pool use PVC that I should be using? My PVC is unpainted, I've read that sunlight degrades PVC, suggested brand of paint to use? Finally, since I'm going to have to wait...

Jim, thanks again. I'm pretty much set on my new system layout, will be close to what I've got now but will move the new salt cell to direct behind the heater and add check valve as you suggest. Talked to Mark at Polytec pools for about 30 minutes yesterday, very knowledgeable. Unfortunately...

Jim - thanks again for your quick response, your answers are pretty much what I had anticipated. Allen - thanks for your feedback as well, definitely going with a new 3hp Pentaire VS pump to replace my one speed Jandy filter pump. I will probably leave my Jandy single speed 3hp spa jet pump...
