Thanks for all the input. I rotated the filter and pump, and it just doesnt lay out well for the manifold without creating more complexity for the rest of the plumbing. It would add many more indirect paths between components, and even with the pump this way, it didnt really allow much room for...

Here is another angle. There is lots of room infront of the heater, and the pump can move towards the vertical pipes, or back to the heater as needed. Was likely going to align it with the multiport as best as possible. Coming out of the heater, there is room for Salt system, flow switch and...

For reference, here is the pad Im working with. Not an ideal space. The 3 pipes for drain/skimmers on the left most here. The returns are off the the right in line with these vertical pipes I dont have a lot of room to go off the left or right when creating a manifold. (The drain pipe has a...

If I put the diverters vertically, it would make the manifold exit higher than the pump inlet. I could drop the valves/diverters down below pad grade, or use sweeps to get back to the pump inlet height from the manifold. Not sure if one is better than the other. I had always imagined a...

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately my vertical pipes are fixed with the arrangement shown, so if I'm understanding you correctly this is what I should do (also replace the 90's with sweep elbows)? The pool is 20x44, and the deep end skimmer is the top one (Direct flow), if that helps) If...

Hi. Im just finishing up an inground pool, looking to plumb the pad. I'm trying to consider winterization process in the plumbing, and wanted to check if my idea was a good or bad idea. In the attached pic, all 2" plumbing, I'd like to add a port to easily attach a blower for winterization...
