Bottom Drain - Newbie Needs Advice

[tbatti]

Hey Windfix: It sounds like we may have the same setup. I posted basically the same question back in April. Sorry, I don't know how to attach the link to my question and pictures from this forum, but if you search under name "TBATTI" under "pool construction and repair", I would be intersested to see if you have the same situation as I do. I included some pictures of an opening in my deck where both the skimmer and the bottom drain feed into a box. Someone told me that back in the 50's, the filter was situated in front of the pump and that was why both the skimmer and the drain fed into one place. At any rate, it you can find my original post, I would be interested to see if you have the same setup.

Edit: To attach a link just copy and paste the URL found in the address after doing the search. This may be the thread you're referring to.
