Key Considerations When Designing a Pool Pump Plumbing Layout

The pump, filter, salt cell, and heater need to run in a specific order for the system to work efficiently and protect the equipment, which is what this layout's color-coded suction and return lines are built around. In ArcSite, you can mark up this layout with your own equipment sequence and line routing for the pool you're working on.
