Pool is plumbed with black poly pipe underground (then connects somehow to pvc at ground level and pvc into pump, but that’s for another convo). Anyhow, underground shortly before pump the black poly pipe has a what looks like a fernco fitting with 2 host clamps (assume maybe they were short when installing or slight bend there to get to pump connections, idk). Well I started sucking air and know exactly where it’s at bc it leaks water with pump off right at one of those hose clamps. I’m not familiar with black poly so is there a better way to replumb this to avoid a fitting there as a weak spot? Can you fuse black poly somehow like pvc?
In case somebody asks was told black poly was the plumbing of choice before flexible pvc in Ohio to allow a little give in freezing winters.
