Bulldoggswimmer Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hello, I am new to the forum and would like to ask for help. I purchased a home with an infinity edge pool a long time ago. It never worked correctly and has always been a royal pain. The pool is approximately 25K gal, just a guess. The overflow basin is large, not sure of the gallons. My plumbing is : one return line from the catch basin ( weir ) and one return from a bottom drain on the main pool. There is a selector valve to choose the percent of draw from each section. The pump is 1.5 hp old pump with a large Hayward sand filter. There is one main return line with 4 different return pipes into the pool. The flow appears to be fine. I also installed a salt water chlorine generator on the return. The problem is, this design is terrible, whoever built this pool. I can not have the pool drain working effectively if I want the water to flow in the catch basin . And if I want to have the pool drain working, then the catch basin stays stagnant still and becomes disgusting because its not part of the circulation. When I have %50 catch basin, %50 main drain as my return, the pool operates very marginally with poor cleaning of both areas. So.... I want to rip it all out and fix it correctly. Can you please give me advice on how to properly plumb this pool so I don't have to fix it more than one time. I appreciate the help....

stevenz1g Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Take some pictures and report back and I will try my best. Unfortunately, though - in situations where most plumbing is permanent, your options may be limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldwinCaleb Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Options are limited that's not true , i was hopless when my sewer leaks are not getting fixed properly but plumbers had used the sewer inspection camera and fixed those leaks. So never say the options are limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
