I went to see a friends pool since it is similar to what I intend to have built and it was built by a PB for whom I've received several positive referrals. I was surprised to see two things on the equipment pad and thought I'd ask your comments...
1) the plumbing to the pump inlet did not include the manufacturers recommended length of straight pipe before the inlet, there was a t valves right there. I've looked at several pictures from folks on this site and notice that is pretty common. Is this manufacturers recommendation just not that important?
2) all do the equipment was just sitting on the pad and not anchored down. Surely that is not ok, right?
