Has anyone ever moved their pump and filter. Does the longer pipes affect the ability of the filter to filter the water. I am wanting to build a poolhouse, but the pump and filter are not where I want them when I'm finished with the poolhouse. I guess what I am trying to say is, does the piping affect the system. Thanks for the support....Patrick:)

How far is the equipment away from the pool now? How far will it be away when your finished? Do you have a heater?

Yes, the piping effects the system. Longer piping, elbows etc. increase friction i.e backpressure i.e. head. You can mitigate this with larger pipes, and less elbows (90's).
