Hey folks,
I had a guy from a local pool store over for a quick quote on an unrelated project. He saw my pipes and first thing he said was:
"Those 90 degree elbows you got don't meet code. They're not meant for pools. You should replace them.". Of course he he offered to do it.
These are just standard white PVC elbows from Lowes/HD plumbing department. So, I went to a few local pool stores and didn't find any special elbows there. Is what he said really true? Or are the standard ones from Lowes/Home Depot fine?
Thanks
