Thank you Jason, I will try a skimmer sock to pick up most of the dirt, then just backwash and recharge. Wish me luck!

I don't have a suction side cleaner or a robot, but I will try a skimmer sock - seems simple. Thank you for your help!

Would appreciate your reply

Hi! After a winter with mesh cover, my pool water will be very dirty when I open the pool. I disassembled my Hayward DE4820 filter last autumn and washed all elements completely. If I add DE first, I'll have filter clogged in no time. Last year I had to clean or backwash the filter and then add...

Breaking concrete while replacing pool lines seems like a better time to add light than while replacing a liner.

After research found that it is called Return Inlet Fitting. The one with screw is used for liner. Apparently there are no 2" models, but only 1-1/2".

I am changing my pool plumbing. I need this part for 2" pipe for return jet (this one is on the stairs) And this part for 2" pipe for suction What is it called and where to find it online?

I wander why not everyone does 2-1/2" above ground

I am changing all pool plumbing myself. Would it be a good idea (since the concrete is already broken) to add light? How difficult is it and what specific light to buy?

At the end of the day I gave up trying to calculate the difference. After comparing pipes and fittings at a store - it was apparent that 2-1/2" feels so much bigger than 2". So I thought that Matt is right, the diameter just have to make a lot of difference. So all above ground equipment will be...

Mine is in-ground, so that skimmer won't fit for me. - - - Updated - - - Thank you for the help anyway!

Mark, using DWV in the pool would be an obvious mistake. They have Sched 40 sweeps like here

Very interesting table. Based on it, 2" sweep is loosing the equivalent of 5.7 ft and 2-1/2" elbow - around 10 ft (yes, they make them). Still, my knowledge is not enough to understand what is more efficient for a relatively straightforward above ground equipment plumbing.
