Thank you!

Hopefully a quick question. Googled to no avail. It’s a threaded plug, removing it and bubbles appear in the return flow. So what is this thing’s purpose?

Thanks for the catch.

Slightly more efficient and saves a few bucks (price for one 3-way valve is cheaper than price for two 2-way valves)

Thanks again for everyone's time and experience!

Thank you. So it's not detrimental to the pump/filter to pressurize it with the cyclone to blow out the returns during closing? Here's my final mockup candidate.

Simpler version -removed check valve -1 valve to control all return lines

Yeah looking at some pictures I don't see many check valves in between pump/filter. One is present on my current setup so I was going to replicate that but if it's extraneous I'll skip it. My dilemma for winter closing is where to blow out the return lines from? Is it detrimental to blow out...

Thanks for the replies everyone! As for plumbing plan, with a cartridge filter (eliminating the need for a MPV) how does this setup look? I've searched and haven't been able to find out what the best practices for a check valve are but I don't think I need one on the discharge side? The extra...

I have had to SLAM in the spring. So I would clean in fall for closing, start up with a clean filter, SLAM and likely load up the filter, clean after SLAM and good to go for the season?
