Church pool RE-construction

[waste]

Hal, the main drain pots should either have a sleve to glue a pipe into or a threaded sleve to put a male adaptor into (if it takes M/A -male adaptor, threaded - don't teflon the threads, GLUE them in, a leak in one of those would mean either abandoning the drain or jackhammering up the bottom to fix it). The anit-vortex is just a different cover for the unit (they're round). Have a level on hand when attaching the drains to the pipe so that you can be sure that they're level to the floor. Also remember to have the concrete guys leave the 1/4 - 1/2" for the plaster.I know you're getting it done this week, if you have more emergency questions that I can help with, pm me and I'll prioritize it - I don't get to come here every day at this time of year, but I'll make a point of at least checking my pm's, just in case you ned some info

[Sumo1]

Well, it's time for some updating. We've taken time off for some vacations so there's not been too much work on the pool lately. We did get the top wall of the pool and the coping poured about 3 weeks ago. It was blazing hot that day and the concrete set up a lot faster than we would've liked but, all in all, the result is looking good. A lot of work's yet to be done in smoothing and shaping skimmer throats but the skimmer boxes/foundations are extremely solid. We're about 1/3 into the project but I think the biggest part is done.

We have more 'crete to pour, in the form of some new decking. QUESTION OF THE DAY: In our next section of deck pour, we have to install about 70' of drain. I've found a local wholesale distributor who will sell us 10' sections of DrainRite for $30 each. Can anyone offer any tips, pointers or advice to help make sure this part goes in correctly? Thanks in advance. I'm all ears!
