New pool owner here, can someone help me identify the pipes / valves so I can understand what they all do?

We've just had a new pool installed,. but there are no labels on each of the valves. I know the actuator valve (bottom of photo) is for our waterfall, but I am not clear what the other 3 valves do? I think the pipe (very bottom left of photo) is for the main drains in the bottom of the pool, and the two pipes next to it must be for each of the two skimmers.

Can anyone help me understand this?

Note: The pool company are due to come back in 2 weeks for pool school, but I'm unsure what they actually discuss.

The PB needs to come back and label all. That's a given.

Far left pipe is likely main pool drain. Next two are likely skimmers. Valves allow you to modify where water comes from. Both of those valves are open. If you turn those 90 degrees to the right, it will shut off the left pipes into the valves. Do you have a main drain and two skimmers?

Those go into what looks like a check valve, then into your pump.

Out of the pump to diverter valve. Water goes to waste or to cartridge filter.

Out of filter, past an anode then another fitting I can't see, into heater.

Out of heater, through check valve, IC-20 and water feature diverter.

@PoolStored thank you! Yes I have a main drain and two skimmers, this all makes sense now

What brand of valves and actuators do you have?
