Good video. Just two quick comments on facts I found out: 1. The burst pressure on PVC pipe is very high, certainly greater than 100 PSI (the message being, don't worry, be happy). 2. Common water pressures coming from the city is about 15psi.
Are those vertical pipes something you installed temporarily to make the process easier? Today I was pressure testing a suction line and the 2" blow-thru plug kept popping out of the skimmer. No matter how much I tried to twist that wingnut, after about 10 psi it popped out. I'm going to make n 18" stub-out pipe with a threaded adapter to screw into the skimmer so I can get a better grip on the plug to get it to stay in. I was wondering if that was something you did there on purpose as well.
Another pool company originally installed them and stubbed them up and never came back so we took over the job, being stubbed up made it alot easier to pressure test.
You can buy these from Anderson manufacturing or leaktronics both have great pressure testing kits should be able to do a quick Google search and find links to both of their websites.

My inspector said i need to test at 30 psi. He said is the code....😮
Link to one of these test kits?
