Pool has been open about a week and a half - been in Liquid Chlorine SLAM the whole time. I've now passed and am ready to remove the copper/mineral system from previous owner and install a CircuPool Core35.
I have a threaded 1.5 to 2 inch pvc adapter that I'll put into the sand filter head. That will run 2in SCH40 which will go into the Core35 input union. I have a 2in to 1.5 threaded bushing that I'm planning on gluing directly into the output union. I know this output union will need to be replaced if I hard plumb in the future. Since this is an AG pool and for ease, I'm planning on reusing the hose connection to the return and as a result, the entire weight of the system will be borne by the sand filter MPV head. I may hard plumb the whole thing when I winterize or run out of other projects to do but assume the piping noted will be used.
Anyone have experience with using strapping (etc) to support a SWG or similar device? Support the pipe or the unit itself?
For the data hawks that saw I self determined my SLAM was done...
PH 7.5
FC 12 (less than 1 ppm FC loss overnight for last 2 nights)
CC 0
Alk 110
CH 100
CYA 30 (I will be raising this once I get the SWG installed; had been liquid chlorine during SLAM)
Crystal clear no dead or live algae in sight.
As an aside, needed to put DE in sand filter to prevent the dead algae from blowing back into pool. I will do a deep clean on the filter when I'm taking off the old mineral system
