Move filter away from pump?

[bmj0928]

Thought I'd ask here before I do something regrettable. A few years ago I turned a nasty pool shed into a nice, usable pool house. I custom built a "love seat" over the pump, but space was limited by the filter housing. There are 12' pipes running behind the pool house bathroom to the heater outside.

Question: if Iwant to relocate the filter to the outside next to the heater, so that I can add a seat and turn the love seat into a couch, can the pump remain where it is and be 12' away from the filter? I've only ever seen the pump directly next to the filter. My initial thought is it's fine, just a lot of work to redo the pipes and valves.

bmj,

There is no reason that the pump and filter have to be right next to one another.

Thanks for the sanity check.
