Hi All,
Just bought a house with an inground, fully screened, gunite pool with a gravity drain on one end supposedly to maintain level during rains.
It is placed about 2/3 the way up the tile course around the waterline.
After noting the lack of draining, I called and spoke with the pool builder - he says the 1 1/2" pvc runs straight out, under the concrete and paver layer, to outside the screened enclosure.
So, my sense is it was covered up during landscaping and after a bit of digging I am going to find the pipe - it would seem the point would be to disperse the water as quickly as possible (northwest Florida) - so, best to run into perforated drain pipe in a gravel bed, or dig to place a perforated plastic container?
Thanks!
