Looking for some advice. I have an infinity edge pool that I inherited with a house purchase and I will be remodeling it over the next 2 winters after closing. It currently has a single skimmer in the catch basin as the only suction side supply to the pump/filter. I have a main drain and access to tie into it but was wondering what the best way to do so would be. I could tie it into my skimmer but I fear when the pump doesn't run I would overflow my basin. I think the other option would be add jandy valves inline to divert as needed but where can the valves be located, down by the catch basin near the skimmer or by the pump that is above the grade of the pool? The addition of a valve close to the skimmer would be a pretty simple change for me and I could do that anytime with zero pool downtime.
My other question is about the edge detail of the infinity wall. Currently mine is somewhat rounded at the top. When I pull the paint off my concrete and resurface with plaster/pebble I would like to change the edge also. I have read the options are edge into or away from the pool. I was considering doing this with safety grip coping stones on top of the wall with the edge towards the pool to prevent water from over shooting my basin when someone jumps in and creates a big wave. Thoughts?
