Hello new to the group. We have had our pool constructed over 3 years ago and learning some of the short cuts our PB did and now learning about it. First our pool was constructed with PVC Flex pipe. All valves and equipment hacked in place and did not know any better and was just happy after saving for many years. I was wanted to upgrade some of the pool piping and clean up valves and marking what line is for what and place the equipment on a concrete pad as we wanted from the start and talked us into using the plastic pads. The first picture are the valves for our Jet Deck and Pool Bubblers and Tanning Ledge fill valve. Well first year PB cut the line winterizing and said he did that as he did not like the lines and would replace next year (still waiting for next year). So was fixed with pool putty and flex seal (currently drips in use). One Pool Bubbler also needs to be fixed as it popped open when he was setting it in concrete so we found that going into year two along with a cracked pipe in the return line. He did fix that line with pool epoxy and still think it leaks and want to fix long term.
So we were referred to a different PB/Landscaper from our Pool service person to help fix some of our issues. We got some quotes from them to fix the pool lines to bring closer to the equipment add Jandy valves / VS Pentair Pump / fix the cracked return line. They are wanting to add 3" pipe from the PVC Flex from the concrete patio and run about 23 feet to the equipment. Current quote is $15,097 does this sound right or getting double charged for making a bad decision for PB we choose? We had some additional quotes about pool automation and some additional wiring Jandy Aqua Link $8,174. As you can see we do not have a pool sub panel that I am considering to have installed, but need to have the main panel in the basement upgraded which they quoted me $4,815.
After seeing these numbers I am considering plumbing the items myself, but do not want to make any costly mistakes as my wife would make my life miserable. So any advice on redoing the plumbing for myself?
