Our piping around the heater/pump/filter is absolutely ridiculous with the number of elbows, turns etc. I am sure Im losing pump efficiency due to friction loss, and want to replace it. My question is, can the valves possibly be saved, or is the PVC glue going to make it impossible to reuse them. I'm guessing that in places that its glued in, (such as into the multi backwash valve) I just cut the pipe back a little bit and use a coupler or new elbow?
Finally, I'll try to post a picture or two in the hopes that someone might see something that will cause me trouble (and help me avoid it!)
Not sure if this will work, but here are links to pics of the mess...
