The Pool Plumbing Part 2
Poll the suction side
For the two pipes entering the pump (# 1 and # 2 in the image), I will use a 3-way Jandy valve, as shown in the image, and about 3 cubits less than 90 degrees. All these extra elbows add a lot of resistance to the blood circulation and it is better to use the least possible amount of 90 and 45.
For accessories we need a male thread adapter (MTA), two slider couplings and two 90-inch adapters, all 1.5 inch. We also need a few foot 1.5 inch PVC pipe. For supplies I need Teflon tape, PVC primer and PVC glue. For tools, take a measuring tape and a good set of hands. Make sure you use pressure fittings that are approximately 1.5 inches deep. Drain the fittings, they are only about half that depth and are not suitable for swimming pool pipes.
Start by wrapping the MTA with different (3-4) revolutions of Teflon tape clockwise around the adjustment wires. For a stronger seal, first apply some silicone to the threads before wrapping them with Teflon tape. Screw the MTA into the front of the pump until it is hand-tight. Turn another 1 to 1.5 revolutions, but do not over tighten (especially in the Hayward Super Pump), otherwise the pump inlet port may break.
After careful measurement, dry the suction manifold, with the 3-way valve, the 90s, the couplings and the MTA, all connected to pipe sections. With a three-way valve you can place 1.5 ″ pipes in the valve, as was done in our picture of the previous box, or you will notice that the new picture of the plumbing configuration used 90 inches larger, which are glued on the outside of the valve gates. This allows 10-20% more water to flow to the valve and to the pump.
Glue time! When you are ready to glue everything, use some sandpaper or sandpaper to clean the old pipes that were cut, and then use the PVC primer or cleaner on both pipes and pipe just before sticking. accessory. After cleaning, open a new canister with resistant PVC glue (this looks better transparent than blue glue!) And apply generously to both the pipe and the fitting.
Press a rotary motion and hold each connection together for about 15 seconds. Start with priming and gluing on the pump so that your last glue joint is on both vertical pipes at the same time.
4. Poll the return side
The return side is a bit more complicated, because we also have to take into account the chlorinator and the T-accessory that feeds the Polaris booster pump (tube # 5). The chlorinator must be installed after the T of the Polaris booster pump so that highly chlorinated water is not supplied directly to the polaris pump. It is also recommended that the chlorinator is installed lower (closer to the ground) than the T-piece and lower than the pipe leaving the multiport so that the chlorinator does not deteriorate and runs into the booster pump or multiport.
