Hey folks,
About to replace the lines and considering the Black Poly Pipe (I've got someone with experience willing to give me a hand making the connections).
A few questions:
1) How deep do they need to be? Can it be the same depth as the returns in the pool? (this is for Massachusetts) And would this depth be the same for both Poly and Sched 40 Rigid?
2) What is the proper PSI of the Black Poly Pipe. Home Depot has 1.5" at 100 PSI. Does this work? The pool store also sells pipe, but they don't know the PSI and it's fairly expensive compared.
3) I checked the local pool stores and HD and Lowes and none have 2" Black Poly Pipe (which I was going to use for the skimmer). Anywhere else you recommend I try? Somewhere online maybe? Otherwise I'll just go 1.5" on the skimmer as well.
Thanks!
