Hello All,
We have just purchased a home with a swimming pool and I need some help with setup. I've never dealt with pools so I'm not sure exactly how the existing setup works or what I need to do. If someone could explain this it would be appreciated.
Anyhow, it is a 25k gallon salt water swimming pool with a liner. I want to do away with the booster pump and replace the existing pool pump with a variable speed. I'll be purchasing a robotic cleaner. There is only one pool feature and that is a fountain but we may or may not use it.
So please explain what all the pvc pipes do in the current setup?
*One pipe comes out of the left of the sand filter and goes into the ground.
*One pipe comes out of the right of the sand filter and goes to the pool pump. It then exits the pool pump and splits into two via "T" and then into the ground.
*A second pipe comes out of the right side of the sand filter and splits into two pipes. The larger pipe goes into the salt water cell and then into the ground. The second smaller pipe goes to the booster pump then exits into the ground.
So how does all of this work and how should I remove the booster pump. Secondly, where should I install unions and/or valves?
Thanks,Ralph
