In Process Pool Install 2 Quick Questions

[bills330i]

1. I have "Progressive" coping thats supposedly needs to be bent to go around the 2' radius of of my rectangle IGP. Does this sound correct and does anyone have any experience bending this type of coping? I would think this tight a corner would be pre-bent.

2. Local installer doing a pool on my street says I don't need a bottom drain with my size pool. Certainly would save me some time and eliminate a potential leak. 14' X 28' 5' deep end.

Thanks

isn't that right?

I bottom drain is never really "needed" I'd personally rather have an extra skimmer than a maindrain if two inlets are being plumbed.

Thats the coping. Should I have been shipped pre-bent corners. Precision Pools not returning calls.

sounds like it to me. I'd rather factory bent then on the job bent since bending usually causes skewing
