Thanks. Most of the information I could find was for Concrete Pools. It seems like to actually expand if you would have to not join the rebar between pieces.

If I put rebar on 2 foot centers at the expansion joints, am I supposed to cut the rebar?

I ordered a 24 x 44 vinyl inground pool kit with steel walls and 4 foot radius corners. Working on the 6 foot deck. Does anyone have information on how to space and install rebar and expansion joints? What type of expansion joints? Thanks

Does anyone know how I would seal that 16 inch pipe coming out of the vinyl pool?

This is sound advice. Thank you.

Remember i am reinstalling this nearly as it was. It was on a 4 feet deep pool that was 24 feet to the far wall. It was a city pool not an amusement park.

I don't have a drawing but it would be pool crete at an 11 degree angle below 42 inches of steel wall.

It's a new pool. The drain sump is expensive then i have several deep 10 inch plumbing fittings and a ditch and getting the bottom and side of the deep end hopper back to a condition to apply poolcrete.

I was thinking it would be easier to put it in the steel part of the wall and also would not need the expensive main drain setup. The straight part of the wall on a vinyl pool is not 42 inches but i assume i need to stay away from the bottom. How do i seal a large pvc pipe to the vinyl pool?

The pump is currently in a barn that's 1/2 mile down a mud road so if it dries a little I will look closer at impeller size. That's good info.

Kansas City is the closest city you have heard of not where I'm located. Thanks though for the insight.

This is what I was trying to describe.

"Gravity drainage systems are not discussed here" it says in that article. I believe this is what I am referring to with a Tee on it's back and a full size 16 inch pipe to the atmosphere it will be the same hydraulically as if I had a pit. The diagram in the article is relying on smaller pipes...

I like the idea but not the price!
