First, forgive me if I don't know the right terms for things. We've had our pool for almost 5 years, but I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing.
When I started things up this year, it was going okay, but suddenly I'm having major issues on the return plumbing (the plumbing after the filter).
You can see in the pictures where I tried to glue things together. The pipes keep separating before and after the valve. And once when I attempted to close the valve, the pipe that goes to the slide popped off.
Is it as easy as replacing that area of plumbing? Should I get a new valve also?
Could something bigger be going on causing too much pressure in that area?
Pool is in ground, vinyl, 30,000 gallons, sand filter.
Thanks for any direction.
