Also, I'm asking this because my dog takes a lot of dirt into my pool and my current filter cannot keep up.

I remodeled my pool a couple years ago and did all new plumbing with a brand new Hayward 2" slide valve connecting to an OLD Hayward 48sf DE filter. The slide valve is currently plumbed to where the first port is about 12" off of the ground level, and the ports are about 5 inches apart. I...

I've been reading reviews all throughout this forum and on Amazon to determine what we should do for lighting in our pool remodel. Currently have old school incandescent bulbs in niches, one of which is leaking either in the niche or the conduit. I like the idea of deleting my existing niches...

Is there any concern that having the suction ports near the equipment side of the pool will lower the head of this plumbing circuit below the handling capacity of the pumps we are discussing? I would like to be able to use the 1hp Pentair Challenger High Flow. The chart says below 25 is not...

Mark, Thanks for the link and for your research on that. I spent a lot of time looking for something like this last week and was unable to find it. It's super helpful. At this point I haven't found a better self-priming pump than the one you recommended. It was a pretty expensive pump and...

Here is the layout of the pool. I didn't diagram the plumbing in detail because it hasn't been built yet. I can change pretty much everything except for the locations of the waterfalls and skimmer and vacuum. This is to scale since I drew it over a satellite photo. It was suggested to me that I...

Mark, On the Bobe brochure and website it does say 15 GPM for their box scuppers, but I took that to be for their standard sizes. The standard sizes that they stock and sell are like 2" or 4". These scuppers are like a custom order at 8" wide, so I guess I assumed they would take about twice...

What I want to do is to put three to five of these bad boys against a wall, about 5 feet above water level Box Scupper Stainless (Custom) Piping layout not locked down yet but I used a calculator that determined I would have about 40 feet of head coming from my skimmer to the equipment head and...
