I purchased a robot Vacuum last year and my pool was plumbed with a dedicated vacuum line that appears to never have been hooked up. I’m looking to convert it into another return and likely use it for a fountain. While I need to confirm that with a pressure test (shout-out to this site that explained its pretty easy to do) that there’s no issues with the line, I have a couple questions:
1) do I run any concerns with losing too much pressure creating an additional return?
2) how would you plumb into the existing system. Pipe 1 and 2 feed into my stair jets and pipe 3 feeds into both current returns
3) any other concerns I’m not thinking about?
My thought is to plumb with a 3 way valve off pipe 2 so I can turn fountain/return on or off or feed it more power as needed but how would I fit a 3 way valve or t on there as I’m assuming I won’t have much play up and down when I cut it?
