Thanks Carl,

I've spent the better part of the morning trying to decrypt the printing on the flex hose they used. Here is the gist of it:

echo sp 1069 BR 6' LA City RR4110 SBCCI 9526 NSF-50 MDCA

I've looked at least 100 google references to different parts of this id string and even on www.plasticpipe.org .....all to no avail.

I've gotten the contractor to try to reroute using schedule 40 PVC but we're putting a pool in solid rock/ground and they've already got the rebar in and tied.

Now I'm fit to be tied......lol........thanks.
