Hi citti34
3 is a three way valve on the suction side which may be pulling from your skimmer, main drain or vacuum port depending on how it is plumbed in
4 is the same valve but I assume that it is being shared with your returns or other feature
5 I'm not sure, maybe a better image showing all the pipework to it

No not bored just sad that people can connect things that way. You'll certainly have fun.
