Hi,
I bought a house last year and acquired what used to be a koi pond converted into a wading pool by the previous owners. I'm not entirely sure what I want the pool to be long term. One idea is to use it as a goldfish pond. Short term it's going to be a dog swimming pool / wading pool. The pool had no skimmer, bottom drain, or filtration when I began. I've since installed a skimmer, a bottom drain, and purchased an intex 2000 gpm sand filter / saltwater chlorination package. The next task is to core a couple 2" openings in the concrete to install a couple return jets. What sort of PVC fittings are typically used for this task??? Do I simply stick a 1.5" PVC in the hole and slip a 1.5" slip-on/threaded coupler on the inside of the pool?
