It appears my pump will be below the skimmer port. I was hoping to have 2 check valves before the pumps - one for the main filter pump, and other to control a shower feature that will be used occasionally.
Because my pump will be below the skimmer port, will I need another valve before the main pump to stop water flow when I am cleaning the leaf basket?
or should I put a three port Jandy valve and control it with an actuator? Though I really liked the idea of two check valves doing the work automatically - when each pump was turned on.
So just to confirm my setup: Skimmer pipe > T join > One side to filter pump > Other side to shower feature. When one pump in on - other one will be off.
What other valves are needed in a pool setup?
Kind regards,
Mil
