I am new with pools. Can someone tell me what valves I need between all the major parts? Like do I need check valves somewhere or just regular ones from Home Depot.
Many of our members prefer Jandy never lube valves. You shouldn't need a check valve unless your equipment pad is way higher than the pool. You may also want to add unions between the pump and filter and the filter and pool ( or whatever equipment is next). If you can post a picture of your equipment pad that will help us give you more detailed advice.
I replaced a stuck Jandy Never Lube 2" skimmer valve with a ball valve from Lowes. So much for never needing lubing. I also installed unions on it so I can lube it if I ever need to.
So here is a pick of my whole system. I think I have 2 chlorinators (gray container and hayward). Currently the heater doesn't seem to be connected. Can you tell me how to pipe it? Also want to put a valve in front of the heater so I can bypass it. Is that OK to do? Or a reason why I shouldn't? Thank you.
So what is wrong with the way it is plumbed now and why are you changing it? The heater may have been disconnected because it leaks and/or doesn't work.
