We are planning to remodel our 16'x40' lazy 'L' in ground liner pool with poly walls. It appears to have been installed in 1985, per the stamps on the concrete.
It looks like the previous owners recently installed a new Filter, Pump, and heater, but the local plumbing wil need to be replaced, as it is not installed per the Owner's manual, and not schedule 40.
Remodel will consist of:
Remove and replace exisiting concrete with integrally colored/stamped concrete.
Install new steel mesh around perimeter of pool, and electrically bond per current code.
New liner
New skimmers. One of the 2 existing Pentair skimmers is cracked, and our liner installer recommended to replace both, as older Pentair parts are difficult to find.
New piping at the filter/heater/pump.
The exting plumbing lines (flexible poly?) will be pressure tested, prior to the concrete install.
How do you determine if the exisiting main plumbing should be replaced?
If so what should they be replaced with? I have experience installing sch40 PVC, (advanced homeowner DIY, and worked as an Architect for 12-years), should I plan to tackle this one myself, or leave it to the professionals?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kurt
