We just moved into this house last summer and this has always been a mystery to me. One of the downspouts coming off the roof is diverted away from the patio/pool area via a 4" corrugated pipe placed on the ground.
It runs about 2o feet parallel to the house and then goes out into the yard a couple feet, which places it clear away from the pool. It is clear that the intent was to keep roof water away from the pool, but why?
There is a drain between the previously existing patio and the newly installed pool. Wouldn't this be able to drain the possibly tainted water? We hate looking at the huge black corrugated pipe that snakes along the side of the house.
I can post pics later if it will help but i wonder if anyone had expertise or experience with this?
