Suggestions for redoing equipment pad

[sumit_b]

Hello all, I am looking to replace the pump and filter in the picture below, and add a salt-water chlorinator. The heater on the left is going away. The current equipment is at the end of its life and is tilting towards the wall. Should I pour a concrete pad for a solid foundation? Any other tips to do it better this time around?

Concrete is best, their are good light weight composite pads available also.

S,

I like concrete equipment pads, but I would never bring any plumbing up through the pad.. Sooner or later you will want to dig up one of those pipes.

I can't tell from the pic if that is possible or not in your case.

Thanks,

Jim R.

I would like concrete also, but it will be tricky with pipes poking out of the ground so close to the equipment and wall. I may end up having to use pavers.
