I am (almost) ready to hard plumb my new AGP with 1-1/2" PVC piping. I have my jandy valves, my fittings, my unions. I have my layout finalized. The only question I have is about the 16' run between the pool and the equipment pad. These runs will be buried.
I have no easy access to 20' lengths of piping. That means I would have to join two 10' pieces for the runs between the pool and the pump/filter. I am a bit concerned about this. Would it better to buy a length of flexible PVC and use that for the long underground runs, with hard PVC for the shorter runs (ground to skimmer, pump, etc.) ?
Or am I unnecessarily worried about an underground joint? Some of the elbows, after all, will also underground.
