On Ground / Inground Pool Filter System Plumbing

Below is a great example of plumbing for an inground swimming pool. The pool plumbing was done in such a way that almost any of the pool water returns can be isolated. If a heater, cleaner motor and/or automatic santizer are not used or installed your plumbing configuration will vary to the extent they are removed from the system. Basically, the line leaving the multiport (return or pool port) would then connect directly to the return plumbing going back to the pool.

Please refer to the numbering on the pictures for further explanation. See another filter system.
