The pool I inherited from a previous owner had originally two ¾†returns, one main drain, a skimmer and a 11/2" Polaris line. After awhile the previous owner shut off the main drain because water from the water table leaked into it. When I inherited the pool the Polaris line had no use because the auxiliary pump didn’t work and I got myself a robot instead.
Although I am in charge of the pool chemistry, I need the pool guys for the plumbing. At one time a pool guy suggested to turn the Polaris line into a return line, and I thought it was a good idea. I got three returns instead of two. Now comes another pool guy (with twenty years experience) and he suggests to turn this return line into a suction inlet line, to compensate for the loss of suction rendered by the closing of the main drain. He’s saying that suction is more important than returns.
Any thought about this statement?
