Too often, the plumbing is the most under-thought aspect of the pool design. But it needs to be considered with equal importance as the equipment when designing proper and SAFE circulation and filtration of pool water.

The plumbing directly effects the capabilities of the pump and filter because it is the pathway for circulation (via the pump) and filtration (via the filter).
