    What is this fitting for?

    Our pool guy reccomends draining every other month or so to keep the ground water down. Definitely before a storm! We connect 1hp motor and it drains for days. Commonly called a well point around here.

    Do you have a well point? Sounds like u need to hook up a pump to the well point to suck the ground water out.

    If it's inground vinyl, know that the liner may float up! Happened to a lot of us in Charleston, SC last year with the flood.

    Ours continually washed out the yard so, my husband extended the pipe, dug a trench to the street and buried it so it expels on the street.

    Water behind brand new liner

    I've never had wrinkles after New install. And have been told u can't "reseat" liner and have it line up correctly with returns and skimmer already cut out. I believe it's his responsibility if u had wrinkles from day one.
