Drainage - our yard had a swampy wet back yard because all of the down spouts dumped the water near the house. We had underground pipes drain the rainwater away from our house the the corners of the lot and the yard was awesome. SO when it came time to put in a pool - that was our main concern. They had to redo the underground pipes just like they had to redo the sprinkler system in the back yard. But no issues (we had a landscaping company do the drainage and pavers).
Overflow pipe - we have a pipe in the top of our skimmer box so that when the water rises too high, it will run out the drain pipe into the back yard instead of overflowing the pool and possible lifting the vinyl liner. Cheap to install and I don't have to run outside during a bad rainstorm to drain the pool.
Pumping to waste - I also had them put in an underground pipe that allows me to pump to waste into the back corner of my lot near a storm drain. So I never have to attach and unroll a 50 foot blue hose to the street during a rainstorm or when I want to drain my pool. Cheap to put in while in the planning phase.
