I'm a first time pool owner. I'll be opening the pool at our new house shortly. I'm sure I'll be able to answer this question once I get the cover completely off and can investigate. However, I'm curious to know what I'm working with as a prepare to update the equipment pad, clean up the existing fittings on the filter and pump, and plumb in the SWG I just bought. This is a 14,000 octagon in-ground with a vinyl liner.
These three pipes (photo) are coming out of the ground, Of course at least one will be the return. I have located one skimmer on the pool deck. I'm wondering what the third line might be. The previous owner left all of the associated equipment for the filter and pump for me, but I don't see any sort of diverter valve that I assume might be necessary if there were a second skimmer or drain. I also considered that it might be a dedicated vacuum port, but I should also have some sort of valve for the suction side, no?
Thanks
