That is a great setup so far.. Once you have everything lay it out on the pad.. Try to give yourself as much room between things as you can, try to have the pumps easily removable and the filter at the front of the pad so you can easily change the cartridges...

Try to go left to right or right to left with suction to pressure plumbing

Then start dry fitting everything to make sure it all works

Use high temp pump unions like these Amazon.com: 2 PACK -CMP Hi-Temp Union 2" inch 2MIP x 2" inch PVC Whisperflo & Intelliflo - 2 PACK: Garden & Outdoor

Use a 3 way Jandy neverlube valve for a backwash/water level valve as the cart filter does not have one

Use Jandy Neverlube valves for everything
