Just a quick picture of pluming...all done by me... Hope theres no leaks. You can notice the check valve above the normal valve. That is to avoid pool water retunr to the compensation tank on the left of picture. Kind regards G.

Hi James, Cannot put check valve in outlet of pump, since i still have the pool drain, that will be connected to inlet of pump (red connection in my uploaded picture.)..that will back siphon. So check valves redunduncy must be inserted in pink pipe (picture above) I currently have a used pump...

Hi James, The pipe from catch basin will probably never suck debris, since it is above the basin floor. Water from basin will be "free" of trash because the path from weir wall and basin will filter the biggest debris (a path of rocks)...but the other inlet coming from bottom of pool, will...

Hi Brian, Thank you for your reply. Yes i understand that check valves are reliable, but they will fail to...and if i have debris being sucked, it will fail sooner. So i need a plan B in case it fails. Electro valve as you suggested, seems to be a good option, that's something that crossed my...

Hi Casey, Plaster is not something very common here in Portugal. Maybe a lack of experts in plaster technique? Armed PVC liners, soldered in place, is what builders use more often. More reliable and durable and can be adapted to any shape. but still expensive. I need a cheap solution for 2 or...

Hi Henry tack så mycket Impressive work you have done in your pool...I also admire your patience of deciding not to fill the pool this year! Nice to ear that there's a DIY person in Europe that made such pvc/welding pool. So its 100% doable..i would still need to buy the solder machine...

Thank you my Queen :thequeen: I must not forget the vacuum tube for cleaning in my previous drawing. :hammer: For what i could read, what makes the waterproofing in concrete pools is the concrete if self..not the title finishing.. or at least it is 98% waterproofing. Since i use concrete...
