Hi,
I had some fence installers install a chain link fence today and they drove one of the posts directly through the return line that goes from the drain at the bottom of the pool to the pump. The other two pipes were untouched. I dug down to pipes, and it's a 1 1/2" PVC. And the water keeps coming through due to the pressure from the pool water. I plugged the bottom of the pool w/ a raft to slow it, but it isn't stopping. My question is, when I go to hack saw this PVC pipe to fit in a new piece into two cleaner edges (currently semi-shattered), and water is gushing out of it, do I just use the blue and purple PVC glue or something else to fit in a new piece with a couple of PVC couplings?
Thanks for the advice in advance!!!!
