So I have already started to install 2" for the suction side, and 1-1/2" for the returns. No changing anything there now. I am replacing the skimmer and have not purchased another one yet. I was planning to purchase this week. Should I be getting one to install with this equalizer line...

I did consider it, but it seems like a lot of trouble and I wasn't sure I really needed it. I have lived without it since I bought the house so I guesss I don't really know what I am missing. I realized circulation would be better and maybe It would stay a bit cleaner. Any other reasons to...

Started replumbing this past weekend and made some good progress. A couple of questions though. 1) I had to lower my suction port since it was installed too high (mid-way up the skimmer). I drilled a new 3" hole and an appropriate location and then relocated the existing suction port...

I assume this one will work for the 2" 3-way valve? Not sure what it means by 2-1/2" slip outside? I guess that means the outer dimension is 2-1/2" but it is made to accept 2" PVC. http://www.poolproducts4less.com/pentai ... 63028.html Thanks, Riles

Good points. I have revised the sketch as follows. A couple of follow-ups. First, you mentioned installing a 3-way valve for the returns. I like the idea of having more control, but can this sort of valve be open to all three directions at the same time? I would guess that my returns would...

I am starting a renovation this fall where I am replacing my decking, liner, plumbing and adding an SWG. My system is pretty simple with 2 returns, skimmer and suction port. I was planning to run 2" pvc everywhere I can. Any thoughts on the plumbing layout? Any tips on doing the plumbing? I...

That is exactly how my pump was behaving. I purchased a new motor and replaced it and it works great. If you are a little handy then this certainly a job that you can do. It took me about an hour, but that was only because it took my a while to figure out how to get the mounting bracket off...

I'm sure someone here can tell me how much it costs per hour to run a standard, say 1hp, pump. I know this depends on electricity rates so maybe this could be in KWH and then we can multiply by our respective rates. I think my rates are $0.078. Thanks.
