Hello, We are currently in the middle of a DIY inground vinyl build. I have read and read until my head is spinning about plumbing, and I honestly don't think I will ever get to the point where I am confident on plumbing decisions I make on my own. Any chance y’all would be willing to help me? If so, thank you so much! If not, I totally understand and thank you for reading this far.
We have 16x36 plus 8 ft steel steps. Main drains, two skimmers, three returns, 30" sand filter and Ecostar VS pump. Planning to use 2" pipe. Equipment pad 30' from pool. I was told by poolwarehouse.com and a pool builder that gave us an estimate that I could add a waterfall without adding a separate pump. I would really like a 5-7' sheer descent or rainfall waterfall on the raised wall in the deep end (which would be approximately 28 or so additional feet from the pump.) I have not purchased the waterfall, valves, or any pipe for the pool except what's set in concrete for the main drains. Can you tell me if this is possible and any special ways to plumb this to be most effective? I am very open to any suggestions you may have and I really appreciate your help.
Thanks so much!
