I think I've finally had enough lugging bleach, staining my clothes, and chasing FC. I'm thinking about a SWG.
Here's the problem. I just went and watched a bunch of installation videos - not too bad, pretty straightforward - except the numbnuts who owned the house before us plumbed everything really tight. Like, there's barely 6" of pipe between every 90. See attached picture. I've got plenty of space on the slab to move the DE filter (to the right), but... is it worth it? I'd probably be looking at a near complete replumb of the pump/filter/selector/etc. I'm pretty good at DIY for most things, but is it worth hiring a pool company for a few hundred bucks to redo everything?
And am I just substituting one lugging for another? Bleach for Muriatic acid?
