. The old plumbing I dug out was riddled with DWV fittings and pipe and much of it survived 45+ years. I'm betting the conduit is significantly better than the DWV.
My Father in Law ran electric conduit all over his shop for his compressor. It held over 100 psi for 20 something years.
Cool, as long as you have the info, you can make an informed decision.Yep, oddly enough I found pool elbows at Lowes. No DWV on them, and as you described the pvc was a bit thicker and the sockets were deeper. They weighed more than the DWV sweeps that Lowes had. I was a bit surprised to find them in the next town down the road. I can't shop for plumbing at my local Lowes because the shelves are rearranged by 3 year old snots.
The long sweeps are conduit pvc. My system has never exceeded 14 psi at the filter. Everything else is downhill from there. If my pressure was up at 60 psi or higher
I sold my old one to a local farmer, who probably used it for some sort of irrigation. But I regret selling it (I only got $100). I should have kept it as a backup. If yours still works, that's what I would recommend. If your new one goes down, it might be days/weeks/months waiting on a new one, or even a repair. Plenty of time for your pool to turn to ruin. With a backup pump, you can call the shots about repair/replacement and won't have the pressure of having to accept less than ideal.
Last thoughts on the conduit...
