I'm planning to move my pump and filter from the side of the pool to the side of the new deck once it's finished. This puts plumbing runs right around 15-20 ft, sort of like this:
Plumbing will be mostly under the deck, so I plan to leave the PVC above ground because it's largely protected by the deck and to make it easier to service if needed. I want to make sure the plumbing is mostly level and not running uphill, so I probably need to support the PVC a little off the ground at the pool and up until it reaches the pump to compensate for the grade. How do you support the pipe? Or maybe I'm overthinking it, and you just run it along the ground and don't worry about it. I'd guess the grade is probably 6-10 in. higher at the pump than it is at the pool.
