cowboycasey: Moving ahead with install plans. My order from Inyo Pools with the Hayward SP1023G returns I need was cancelled, but luckily I found them locally instead. Whew! 😅 Some pool parts are scarce these days! I've ordered a boat load of these American Valve union ball valves from Lowes...

cowboycasey: I ordered some additional Hayward SP1023G returns which I plan to install on the end of the pool farthest from our skimmer once they arrive - 2 evenly spaced apart. I also plan to replace the old Intex "Hydroaeration" return with a Hayward SP1023G as well, just so everything is...

Thanks! I'm sure I'll have some other questions for you once I get ready to plumb the remainder of the system. Here's the plumbing I've done thus far when I added the Hayward skimmer: I was thinking of closing off the Intex intake and adding two evenly spaced Hayward eyeball intakes at the...

With kind permission, we'd like to jump in on this thread with some similar questions of our own, because we're looking to upgrade our pool pump system as well, and so many of the pump upgrade questions seem to apply to much larger pools. (I had intended to post my own query until I did a search...
