installing a center drain

[CarlD]

I would agree with Dennis--just asking for trouble. Most auto-cleaners these days would do you very nicely. You don't need a robotic in a pool like that, either.

Plus you don't have the hassles of two drains (needed to prevent suction from holding a kid down), capping them for the winter, anti-freeze, etc.

Thanks for your opinions. I think I will take that advice and go with an auto cleaner. Any suggestions on a cleaner for a pool that size. We have looked at a few but would like some experienced opinions.

Also, I would like to know if there are any other precautions we should take during installation. We will be starting this weekend and I would just like to be completely prepared while I have extra hands available.

Thanks so much for your help,
Rustin
