Greetings,

I am moving my pump (Pentair Intelliflo VF) and filter (Sta-Rite S8M150).

I have 5 suction lines (3 drain, 2 skimmer), 5 return lines (around the pool), and a waterfall.

What's the best way to combine the lines?

(1) I'd like to have a single three way valve (Jandy Neverlube) with the three main suction lines coming in to one side and the 2 skimmer lines coming into the other side. This way I can redirect the suction to come from the 3 (combined) main lines. or the 2 (combined) skimmer lines.

(2) Then, I'd like to combine all 5 return lines to come from one side of a three way valve and the waterfall to come from the other side. This way I can direct the return flow to the waterfall or the 5 (combined) return lines.

Thanks,
Steve
