Pool is under construction with numerous delays and frustrations. For example, day of shotcrete we had a hurricane/tropical storm come through and reeked havoc on the massive open dirt/sand hole in my backyard. Anyway, we have moved on from that issue and now the plumbing has been installed along with the electrical conduit.
I believe that they did the plumbing/electrical wrong, but the builder is saying "no big deal, we can fix it later when we lay the equipment." However, given my past issues I am not being very trusting of the builder. For example, I told him of the issue last week and he said "Ill get on it and get it fixed." Today when he tells me that the plumbing inspection is tomorrow and I remind him of the issue he says "That is news to me." I then called him and politely reminded him of our text last week and he says "Oh its no big deal, we can fix it when we pull the lights through."
So here is the potential issue. The pool is supposed to have 3 returns and 4 lights (3 led globrite and 1 led bubbler). The bubbler and two light fixtures (just pvc pipe at this point) have the gray electrical conduit running to where the equipment will be. The other light location pictured in the attached pictures is plumbed into the main return line going back to the area of equipment. My theory is that they screwed up the plumbing and created 4 returns instead of 3 and gave me 2 led globrite locations and 1 bubbler.
So if my theory is correct, can the builder simply fix the issue by pulling the electrical through that existing plumbing pictured and fix the issue at the equipment area plumbing? Or is this something that I need to demand that they come back and fix at the site pictured where the plumbing comes off of the pool shell (similar to the other properly plumbed lights)? The builder is also saying that the plumbing wont create a issue for the inspection (which I question because they will see that the pool is plumbed for 4 returns currently and only supposed to have 3), is he correct?
