Does anybody know what this style of pool plumbing is called?

[BassPlayingDude]

Does anybody here know the name for a plumbing style where the main drain is plumbed into the skimmer with a diverter valve? I remember seeing a post here previously somewhere where it was mentioned as the "X Style", but I can't seem to find it now.

Does anybody here know what "X" is?
Thanks!

Dude,

Not sure if it has a name or not, but almost all older pools were plumbed that way. Newer pools generally have the main drain and Skimmer(s) plumbed back to the equipment pad..

Why do you ask???

Thanks,

My pool is like that, and that particular construction style seems to have a name.

AHA! Found it. It's "Anthony Style"

I have an "anthony style" pool where the main drain and skimmer line are on the same line. My plug looks like one of these: Rubber Plugs - Double and Extended - Anthony & Sylvan Pools I've been reading up on it here, such as...

Or as they might say here in Philly, "Ant-nee" style
