I think so, but I'm not sure who did what or why. I have a theory, based on facts I know about the last "pool" guy & previous owner and through my own observation. I believe that the original filter was DE or sand, with a smaller pump.I think it could explain the fact that the pipes seem to take...

I pulled the defunct check valve, after I brought it up off the ground, I replaced it with(horizontally) a jandy check valve before the pump, and BINGO, priming issue solved! Next please

Re: Pump Station needs OVERHAUL, not enough money to start o The setup as it sits is so confusing! :| It would make things so much easier if I knew the thought process behind the installation(s)/and /or fixes. Is there a way to do some sort of line test on each run to establish what goes where...

My equipment sits 8-10' abovethe pool itself.

I apologize for getting off track, but I found the valve after searching was also available through a landscape supply store as well, it turns out that this valve is not able to handle chemically treated water. Combined with the fact (please forgive my ignorance) that I was putting a chlorine...

I have many more plumbing issues to deal with, as you will see from the pics, but the most immediate issue is the serious suction leak that is making the pump very difficult to prime. I can hear the water returning to the pool when I shut the system down. I started out by cleaning the filter...
