I have an above ground pool that was installed about 20 years ago. The 1.5"/2.0" PVC at the equipment is starting to show its age and over the weekend, I developed a small leak at a pump connection.
I have a lot of experience fixing and installing PVC fixtures for landscape irrigation, but I have not worked on pool piping.
Is there anything that I need to consider (e.g. different than sprinkler piping) as I work on fixing this leak? I noticed that there was quite a bit of pipe dope on the existing connections. Is that common with pool piping?
