Charlotte Pipe 2-in compatible with pool Plumbing?

[PierPool]

Hi I have looked for threads on it but no luck. I am in the process of installing a DIY inground pool kit 20x50. I am getting all the supplies currently to start. I am looking for 2" PVC for my returns and water features. Everything I read says that DWV is a no go for inground pool Plumbing. I want to do it right the first time so my question is which route to take.

Top Pic is pipe you can get from Lowe's/home Depot. Other image is from a local supplier that deals with specifically pool/spa applications.

I am trying to figure out which pipe to get the supplier is significantly more expensive per ft so I was wondering where are you guys purchasing your pipe from and which route would you go. I need roughly 800-900ft of piping I believe since everything will have its own run.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Schedule 40 is Schedule 40. Bell end doesn't need a coupler when using full pieces.

Google 'plumbing supply near me' and check with the places the actual plumbers use.

If the pipe has ASTM D 1785 on the pipe, it's suitable for pressure applications. A rating of ASTM D 2665 means non pressure applications and should not be used for pools.

A pipe can be dual rated ASTM D 1785 and ASTM D 2665, but it has to say ASTM D 1785 if it's going to be used for pressure.

The pipe should also be labeled NSF-PW (National Sanitation Foundation - Potable Water) and Schedule 40 PVC.

Note: ASTM D1785 is for pipe.

ASTM D1784 is the specification for the PVC material.

ASTM D2466 is the correct rating for the fittings.

Correct which I figured if I glue the coupling correctly it should matter bell end would just be cleaner but is it work an extra 2$ ft to have bell end and less fittings. So I just to verify I can use home Depot pipe for the plumbing and there should not be any issues.

According to the info on the 10ft sticks it's compliant with those listed specification. So I should be good to use them correct?

is it worth an extra 2$ ft to have bell end and less fittings

Not when the fittings cost less than the $20 per pipe. If it's all the have, or it's the same price, then go for it.

it's compliant with those listed specification.

2 Inch sch 40 is rated for 280 psi. It will say so on it, along with the certification #s. You're golden.
