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!

i talked to an engineer friend and he suggested putting a 16 inch ( to lower velocity) pvc pipe out the side of the pool with appropriate grating that would then go to a vent above grade about 10 feet out then reduce to the 6 inch that feeds the pump. This would limit the maximum potential...

Good catch on needing the other part of the label. My memory said that was a 15 horse pump so I was kind of annoyed when I found out it was 10 hp. I’m gonna have to tell my wife about this, that I was right after all. I have what I need to make a rotary phase converter so likely I’ll try that...

I don’t remember where I got those numbers I’m going to try to research the details on the pump. The sump is so that the pump can’t create a suction more than just a gravity flow drain. Another way I have read about is just to put a T in the line between the pool and the intake of the pump...

20 x 40 with an 8 foot deep end for diving is what I was planning and then a 5 foot area in the middle, where the slide would come in the side.

The sump would have to be fed at the same rate the pump would take the water out.

Good points. Trying to find the best safe way. It was on. A 24 by 24 pool 4 feet deep as it was installed when I got it.

230 3 phase is the motor. With a phase converter it will make the third leg from single phase.

I have waited to order the pool until I get the slide details figured out. I am hoping to order it tomorrow or Wednesday.

Thank you everyone for all your replies. I’m an electrician so I know a bit about the pump and making it work. A person can use a rotary phase converter or a VFD or just switch the motor out to single phase. I don’t know the best way to pull this volume of water out of the pool.
