Well one thing led to another, I had a leak in my pool light, found out that the conduit was emt and totally rusted, and am in the process of replacing with 1 inch pvc, 40 feet of 10awg wire, and a spa electrics R10 retrofit since the niche is really old....at the same time, decided to replace concrete pavers which served as my equipment pad, but still trying to plan out the plumbing, everything is 1.5", with a main drain and a skimmer coming in and two returns in the pool, roughly 25k gallons. Today's question is just on planning the plumbing and equipment layout. I'm planning on replacing the two ball valves with one Pentair 3 way diverter valve (1.5" or 2") and then post diverter shifting everything to 2" . The new pad will be 3x6 and plan on having the concrete shifted 2 feet from pipe in ground, with the pump and filter in line and just straight pipe to the return with a future plan of a chlorinator. I have a proposed plumbing below, mock up is a bit rough, (doesn't line up, T should be diverter, etc.) but conveys the gist, it generally shifts the pipe away from the wall to fit on the new pad, and moves to 2"... can also use unistrut to support pipes..
does it work?
