Pool Plumbing Layouts

Pool Plumbing Layouts

Use these Jandy pool plumbing layouts to visualize how the water is pumped from the pool under vacuum, then through the filter and heater, and back to the pool, under pressure. These pool piping plans are also useful for pool plumbing renovations, where you might replace all above ground plumbing, along with new pool equipment.

Jandy valves revolutionized pool plumbing, making it easy to control two pipes with one valve. Use these sample Jandy valve configurations to plan your own pool plumbing design, using 3-way valves to replace ball valves or gate valves.

Equally revolutionary in design are the Jandy Check Valves, introduced in 1998. The new style of plumbing check valve has a see-through lid, gasket-sealed diverter, and the ability to open it up to replace parts or clear clogs. Like the diverter valves, the ports on Jandy check valves are also 1.5”/2” or 2”/2.5”, accepting both pipe sizes, with a spigot or socket connection.

Jandy valves can be automatically turned with a Jandy Valve Actuator, which connects to a Jandy pool controller system, for remote or scheduled operation of the spa, heater, water features, cleaners, or pool lighting.
