    We have 2 skimmers, 3 returns, and no bottom drain. What position should the red valves be in?

    OK...your response got me thinking (a dangerous place for me...) and we have some mystery pipes on my filter that I need to identify and label. You may be correct...I don't know because there are parts that I need help labeling. SOOO, if you all could help me figure this out, I would be most...
