Don't trip, okay?

I did specifically plan the location of the cleaner pump (the one at 45°)
so that not only did the pipes not run over the top of the basket, but
that I could get my (rather large) body all around it to service the
heater and the other pumps.


I could tell you were a big guy. Figured you wear ~ a size 11 shoe.

(you left wet foot prints on the pavers when you drained the filter)

So, while the octopus has grown, it now has the advantage of:
a) Must easier access to the baskets and pump
b) Easy disconnection of the pump and wiring
c) Re-use of one pump for another with only minor effort

....go for it
