I am going to try that right before I close it up this weekend. I believe you are correct also

I am the only owner of this home.

I had the pool installed. the liner was the original request.

I dont recall, but when I needed to remove water during heavy rains, I would use a hose and run it out to the main sewer drain

Would you be able to send a photo of your pipe so I can compare the two?

Yes, that is what I am leaning towards also. Thank you

I am not confident the new owners of the pool company are completely sure nor familiar enough to confirm a concrete answer. I have noticed several things that were missed during opening the pool over the last few years. These overlooks would be enough to ruin all my equipment. When questioning...

thats what seems to be where this may be falling, the more comments that come in, the more I believe that is the case.

Yes, you cant see anything besides an empty pipe- the pipe is also a flexible pipe, not a standard PVC pipe that would not be flexible.

I do believe that is what this is, and should have been communicated to me since this could damage my pool if not properly maintained. The liners dont last for ever and if I needed to replace it during a time of heavy rains that could now cause problems with the bottom concrete and liner not to...

do you have a picture of it, but yes, the deadmans line is one of the things it could be. Luckily I havent had alot of rain, however there has been some rain in recent days, so if this is for that purpose, then I should try draining it out if I needed to lower the level down? Either way...

I appreciate all the trouble shooting tips you have been able to share. I am learning thats for sure. I saw something that maybe it is a sewer drain pipe for purposes of disposing of the water? But I am not sure how to go about that without digging out the pipe some and see where it goes or even...

No, they are all linked to the same pipe and they all are working. Also, I believe the pool company that installed it, accessed it every year either for opening it or closing it, you can see the indent marks from the tools used to remove the cap. Both caps seems to be accessed with same markings

Took Cap off, turned pump on, no air flow vacuum in that line. The other similar cap I assumed was to address the heater during winterizing?

UPDATE. Tried to use shop vac to push water out in hopes to see bubbles. Nothing. Any other suggestions? To make sure I did it correctly, I closed the main drain off while doing, was that correct?

will try that, thank you. To be continued...

But the filter does have a drain already. Cant be connected to the sewer, but conveniently the sewer drain runs along the fence line which I typically will run my hose when needing to lower the water level some after heavy rains.

No fittings laying around and I also think it is probably a drain. I do believe the pool company that always opened and closed the pool each year accessed it often since you could see indents from the tools used to pry open. Not sure if I should also tend to this upon winterizing?

No Pressure side cleaner. No holes inside. I do notice the cap looks as though it was often accessed because you see markings from tools that were used to unscrew it (those whom would have accessed it would only be the ones that installed and always opened/closed the pool since installation). I...

I have a salt water inground pool and live in the Midwest (Northern IL). This year will be the first year I will be winterizing my pool myself. The company that installed the pool has gone through new ownership and seem to be still in the learning phase of anything pool related. I have joined...

HELP. Can anyone tell me what this pipe is for. I do not have a complex system, just heater, main drains, skimmers, returns and salt water system.
