I work on the distribution end of swimming pool materials. Note to any homeowners out there: if you have a salt generator, please make sure your contractor installs a zinc anode in your line. The zinc bar in the anode will attract the salt and prevent corrosion of any metals such as ladders, handrails, and especially the heat exchanger in your heater or heat pump.
Very informative and simple. Thank you! If I have two main drain lines, is it safe to run while people are using the pool (who might try and touch the drain grates)? I’ve heard horror stories of people getting stuck and drowning.
We don't only because those prices can vary greatly depending on the brand and your particular setup. Also RUclips doesn't allow us to link to any other video or website in the comments
Same! I was missing the weir/door. The poll company didn’t put it in after they opened my pool for the summer, they left it in my shed. Lousy companies. I plan to graduate grom Swin Unersity so I can open/close my unground liner pool one day.
I need HELP! I changed my sand in my filter. Trying to put my valve back on and it won't go all the way down flush so I can put the collar back on. Do I beat it down? Lubricate pipe?
I'm a pool installer and i come across this issue sometimes. Make sure the pipe inside the filter is exactly in the centre. Then it should go on easily. Sometimes you just have to beat it down to have it flush so u can wrap the collar around it. You should also grease around the tip of the pipe and do the same thing for ur valve. Wouldn't hurt to grease the rubber ring on the valve to avoid any water leaks.
Put your jets pretty much where ever you want just as long as you point them in an attitude or direction that disturbs or manipulates the debris to the skimmer. Not to be confusing at all. Maybe opposite of skimmer side to push debris towards skimmer
I declare my pool the Poolarian Empire lol. Edit: Also, i just watch Swim University for fun because it's interesting. Edit: I like to drink vodka while watching swim university, and i end up becoming drunk after 5 mins.

Not if it doesn't have a good cover. There are laws that require them these days because of those horror stories from the past
I have a push pull sand filter and need a video in this.
Will this be adapted to the endlessnpool system?
Great Video. Thanks for the detailed info.
If I have a 3 way valve going to the pump should I leave it on the skimmer only, main drain only or both? 3:12
most pools should be sucking from both on a daily basis when running
Do you have a video on how much it would cost to maintain a pool (such as chemicals, winterizing and utilities use)?

Thanks for the video. While simple to understand, the diagram is missing a section to show how the backwash/rinsed operations works
Yes, you are right
Thanks to this video i discovered after 3 years of owning a pool, that my Weir is missing. Ordered one up. Thanks!! 😂
Oh wow! Glad you ordered a new one

Wow. Amazing!

Liked and subscribed too fellow vloggers and content creators
where to install the jets please ?
Put your jets pretty much where ever you want just as long as you point them in an attitude or direction that disturbs or manipulates the debris to the skimmer. Not to be confusing at all. Maybe opposite of skimmer side to push debris towards skimmer
Cool. Thanks!
Do we need to use PVC is it fine to use a flexible tube?
PVC is most safe
what are the pipes connected to the motor? my grammys is leaking due to the pressure. i want to get her a new one
The pipes connected to the pump? Those are PVC pipes that carry water from the pool skimmers, to the pump, and then to the filter.
Where is pipe to take in ground water?
The drain takes in water from the pool.

No

Thanks for watching!
Has anyone ever plumbed a cold plunge in with a pool? Not for constant running, but to cycle the water from time to time for cleaning the plunge?
wow
My great uncle used to live in the us and he found a bull frog in his skimmer
"Never lube, 3 way valve."
There's a dirty joke in there, I'm sure...
Unprofessional standards using childish cartoon sounds.. SSSSSSWWWWWWWIIIIIISSSSSSHHHH / ZZZZZAAAAAAAPPPP to the dislike button jr
Sorry about that. Our more recent videos don't have those sounds anymore. We heard comments like yours and removed them.
Thank you for the video!
You're welcome!
