adwh.com Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Yup. Absolutely not! Only one of those pipes goes to the bottom drain (if you have one) and then to the pump. The second pipe, usually with a cap far more difficult to remove and which may or may not be functional, can be used by fiberglass pool owners to release the hydro-static pressure from beneath the pool. That is, if it's functional. Never empty your pool without the assistance of a pool professional that specializes in the type of pool involved, i.e. fiberglass, gunite, concrete, or vinyl liner, unless you live in an area that never has rain or snow, like the desert. -Bill Nash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
