This is the pipe we were told is the overflow outlet
Here you can see the outlet in relation to the deck, where the skimmer is and where the overflow is located at the pool. The skimmer is the closer lid in the picture.
The random piece of pvc sticking up out of the ground is what they decided to leave in case we wanted to hook up an overflow. I have no idea how that could even happen as we have no water source or sprinkler system in the yard.
This is our over flow. Pool miser?
With lid off. I am facing the direction of where the outlet pipe leads. Looking at this picture, the pool is to my right (west)
Inside. These are located to the east
Inside bottom. Lots of sediment and some chunky debris
A close up.
I had called to tell them I didn't think it was working as I had found the float equipment inside the well in a bag. They sent out a very nice older gentleman who took the bag out, said we didn't need it unless we added an aitofill. He spent some time cleaning dirt out of the pipe with a shop vac and declared we were good to go.
He told me to periodically open the lid and use a stick or something to create some turbulence to keep it clear of dirt. Even with creating turbulence, I have never seen water come out that pipe.
Hubby tried to snake it a a few weeks back and had a hard time getting the snake out. It got snagged (we think) on a bend or elbow waaay in there.
