Drains between Covered patio and pool

[Collin75]

Decking pavers were recently installed but PB only installed two sets of deck drains that you can see in the photo under those windows, no drains between the pool and the patio (which slopes toward the pool). PB says that the 4-5ft section of the deck between the uncovered part of the patio and pool will not wash enough dirt and debris into the pool to be a concern vs. the negative aesthetics of them installing drains along that section.

Some neighbors have the same pool builder and in all cases the builder installed drains with metal covers or pavers with slots cut into them between the patio and pool.

PB says what they’ve done for my particular pool is actually a design enhancement to improve the aesthetic and I should just plan to direct water toward those under window drains when washing the deck.

Want to check if the PBs rationale makes sense to the community here or will I likely have issues with the chemical balance/dirt/debris in the pool? Thanks

No way I would want drains right next to the house foundation when they leak. Were there drawings in the contract showing those?

Good point about the leaking near the foundation, I didn’t think about that. The construction drawings didn’t show any specific drain locations. It just showed the direction of drain flow from left to right and then toward the street in the front of the house.

do you know if they buried the drain tubing or pipes (often in lawns they use French drain pipe) out to the street? Maybe visible at edge of patio? Can you find an outlet at the street? I just wonder if its missing altogether even under the window space??
