Advice for new pump motor and valve.

Here are a couple pics. Pretty straight forward. The capped off line used to be for a booster pump Polaris cleaner. They both died years ago. Now I have an electronic bot.

Thanks. I’ve ordered parts from them in the past but never called and talked with them about equipment.

So I got everything disconnected. Any suggestions on changing the plumbing layout? In the picture there is a small concrete slab that the filter and pump sit on. Behind the filter is a soon to be replaced shed. And to the right of the pump is a privacy fence. Is there anything special to do with a multiport valve? Like reinforce it underneath? Also I have the three lines. 1 is intake 1 is return to 2 locations and the second is a single location opposite side of the others. The single was for a cleaner that is no longer used.

thanks

I haven’t needed to use that thing or pucks since I’ve started using SLaM. But yes I have thought about it. But not an option this year. Have to use the budget on the pump and valve.
for space do you mean moving the pump right or the filter left to open up the gap?

I guess another issue is if a variable speed won’t the controller be upside down?

one more item. What about wireless control is that available with a reasonable cost?

I see where you are going. Are SWGs roughly the same length as the Hayward i have?

@allen well I made the purchase on the pump and got a Hayward MaxFlo VS W3SP2303VSP. Hopefully that will last another 15+ years. I do have 244volts going to the timer box so I can run this at 230 volts, and I can get rid of the timer box in the process. I didn't get a Multi valve yet, it would take a while to get here and I figured I'll make one change now and get the pool up and running, then after the SLaM is done then I can look into changing the valve out so the kids can swim.

I looked at moving to salt, and from what I have read or seen so far is that I should get a system that can handle over the pool size, so I'm at 19k which I guess would be a system for 25k - 40k depending on the brand.
Is there anything I should look out for like brands to avoid, or salt cell life spans? I was going to pick up one in the 500 - 700 range but then I read about sizes and mainstream brands and that pushed the price over 1k, along with the lifespan of cells and their replacement costs.

Is converting a pain in the Rear?
Are the conversion costs limited to Salt System, Pipe work, Salt and the Zinc plate?
And is this cost effective or more towards lower maintenance needed?

Sorry for all the questions.
