What is the role of piping in a pool system?

The role of piping in a pool system is primarily to connect all of the components together. This includes linking essential parts such as the pump, filter, heater, and water features. Piping facilitates the circulation of water throughout the pool system, allowing for effective distribution and movement of water, which is essential for maintaining water quality and ensuring that all components function properly.

By creating a continuous system, piping allows the pump to draw water from the pool, send it through the filtration system, potentially to a heater, and back into the pool, ensuring that contaminants are filtered out, and the water remains clean and at a desired temperature. While the other functions mentioned, such as filtering impurities or heating water, are important roles within the pool system, they are performed by specific components rather than by the piping itself. Thus, the piping's primary purpose is to serve as the connecting framework for these processes.
