We used to use our heater when we first had our pool installed but haven’t now for about 18 years. So I decided to do something I’ve been meaning to do for about 18 years. I removed a combined 16 elbows and 45’s. I’m going to have to re-position my returns to keep my PH down now. The return water is much more powerful, should have done this years ago. I was over at my neighbors house helping with his water balancing and noticed that one of his returns almost created a lazy river in his pool. I looked at his plumbing and it was very simple and I new that mine could be that simple too. So I just made myself do it. My gauge dropped about 3 points immediately. He only has 3 returns to my 5 but we have the same HP motor. What a big difference removing all of that zig zagging has made.
