Great job! Plumbing isn’t meant to be a work of art. As long as all the parts are where they need to be and you use the right amount of primer and glue, then the job is complete. My guests won’t care about an itty bitty purple stain on a pipe. What matters is that the pool is clean and safe to use.
@@enriquel765 No Name is right. Pool plumbing is an art. Not a visual art but more of a water flow art. This video shows that he's proud of a HUGE footprint and and lack of knowledge in water flow. A perfectly plumbed system would have absolutely no short 90's. Long 90's and/or double 45's for all turns. The goal is an extremely low head pressure at the filter. Most installers make the glue look nice and shrink the footprint as small as possible like yourself. The difference for the homeowner is not having to get up and bypass the filter when they want super strong jets from the spa or crazy water features, waterfalls, etc etc. Flow is key. It's worth the extra $20 in fittings...
Using purple ensures that the particular pipe is thoroughly primed. Unless your an acrobat and can flip over to check the underside of the pipe, its the best route for a proper fit. Yes it may look nasty and not so pleasant, does it work? It will if you use purple primer for clarification that it's primed correctly.
Did you ever think about spray painting all those pipes, maybe a tan? Also, that filter has a plug on the bottom. You could attach a threaded fitting and ball valve to it to drain the filter. Can't tell where you are, SW?, but maybe freezing isn't an issue.
I'm building an enclosure over this so it won't be exposed to the sun, so I'm not worried about looks. I know some people commented about the looks but I designed this for function and high water flow, not for looks, ie the blue primer and glue. Also, I am installing a bathroom next to this and I'll be plumbing in a drain for the pool pump, but that's a good idea to install a drain for the filter as well. I'll make sure to do that, thanks!
@@wompus44 No problem, painting the pipes is mostly aesthetics. Plus you’ll cover them with a roof. To clean the filter, sometimes I open the bottom and spray the cartridges in place, so having that plumbed helps.
Purple primer and glue never looks good. Nice setup but I’ve installed much cleaner pads with clear primer and clear heavy glue. Pro tip, use jandy valves instead of those cheap ball valves that get sun baked after a year. Love the sacrificial anode, don’t see that enough.
The correct way is to never use blue glue or purple cleaner on any of the plumbing above dirt level. Looks like shit 💩 and all the return pipes are in the middle of nowhere! Definitely should be closer to the equipment itself. Inlet and outlets should’ve been further to the right for a snug neat look. Overall functional but not top notch in my opinion 🤷♂️👍 also 3 way valves look neater to me.
Unacceptable. God awful glue joints. Manufacturer doesn't recommend that you set the filter on anything besides the pad. Returns are nowhere near the equipment. Cheap ball valves that will not hold up to the chemicals. Self priming pump so check valve is completely unnecessary unless the pool is below grade of the equipment by a significant amount. No bypass for heater. No bypass between pump and filter for vacuuming...if you would have turned the heater to where the control panel was facing opposite of the fence you wouldn't have had to run a pipe on front of the pump pot, making it difficult to service. Very intrusive. I wouldn't have posted this.
I agreed with almost everything BUT those unionized ball valves are actually the good ones that last. You see them more common on commercial setups. The american grady or charlotte ones that cost $8 and crack and leak in a year should be banned from all pool equipment.
so you went all fancy with the check valves but no bypass for the heat pump that pool heater will not last very long! how can you install a heat pump without a bypass!!! why have the water go through the heater exchange even when it's not in use!! terrible job imo
Ball valves are junk. Only use quality Jandy or Pentair diverters. Check valve before the pump shouldn't be necessary. Sacrificial anode doesn't do anything. No heater bypass. Check valve isn't needed with a SWCG (only a tab feeder). SWCG should be hump down so the plates are completely submerged. Flow gauge optional (doesn't do very much). This is a poor example of a pad setup.
Rediculois waste of space! My system takes at least three times smaller space. No bypass for heater?! No possibility of backwashing the filter!? The pool equipment should mostly be hidden from the view. This not an industrial site!
That system is horrific, sorry. A system should alway be set up…pump, filter, heater…left to right or vice versa. Too many things done wrong to list them.
Хобби
It's all good brother keep it up man,don't let nobody put you down, and learn from your mistakes 🤙 😁
Nice setup.
Beother ,no agas caso alos envidiosos ,buen trabajo y gracias por enseñar tu trabajo ,sigue adelante ,en el mundo ay mucha gente envidiosa.

Thats just a way of saying your work is not top quality. More like a back yard tree mechanic.
@@NoName-um4dt Yeah!

100% disagree… plumbing should be a work of art. Don’t downgrade your work quality. Horrible thought process

Until the check valve in front of the pump gets snagged full of debris. Discharge 3 way pointed at house and not necessary at all.

Yes. Ugly , just simply ugly plumbing. Always clear. Always wipe
Color glue and primer for underground, clear above ground. You messed up
no bypass for the heater?
No se necesita ,ya lo tienw el heater (interno)
Ha….BS, you don’t know much
Them check valves will give you headaches down the road
Why? Just curious your experience with them

I'm building a shed over it.
Let’s see your channel and work. That’s what I thought......
You missed an opportunity to make filter stilts😂

Lol your mean
Couldn't have said it better my self!
It’s a cluster eff….yep.
That's worse than an amateur install

heater is not bonded. FAILED
This set up is beyond ridiculous
so you went all fancy with the check valves but no bypass for the heat pump that pool heater will not last very long! how can you install a heat pump without a bypass!!! why have the water go through the heater exchange even when it's not in use!! terrible job imo
That’s really bad . wrong set up for a Hayward equipment. All the equipment looks 👎
Probably... But looks good to me and worked really good this last year
@@wompus44 can you make a list of the fittings minus all the extras? Simply from the skimmer on pool side to pump, from pump back to pool?

This is by far the most garbage equipment set I have ever seen. Keep trying though
