Hello, I have a 20' X 48" round Intex AGP. I've had the pool for two years and added a 16" Intex sand filter last year. Looking to install a through wall skimmer and hard plumb the pool.
One question I have is: Does the PVC need to route down from the pump to touch the ground for support, or is it strong enough to just run straight from the pump to the pool and up to the skimmer and return?
Looking forward to posting with some folks that have "been there, done that".
Thanks in advance.
