Thanks!! My parents had the S bracket when I was a kid. Figured it would be easy to find but wasn’t having much luck! I’ll check out your links!

Hello, Im having a pool installed soon in the shape of an L. Im looking for a volleyball set up for it. I had one as a kid that has an S bracket in the "inside of the L" that projected out inbetween the deep and shallow end so that the net was in the middle of the L. I havnt been able to fine...

The UV issues make sense. We are partially shaded here in central PA so i assume 40k should be ok. I am 100% going variable pump after talking you you folks. With that said, i couldnt find 3HP hayward pumps, which is what numerous people suggested. The builder just texted and said Hayward...
