    This is a much more serious matter , you need to get schedual 40 pvc fittings for pools ---- a lot of the pvc fittings sold at 'hardware' stores are to be used only for non-pressure lines - they can be used for pools, but aren't the right stuff for pool use.) If you can get the sch 40 fittings cheeper elsewhere, do it!

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Right... Home Depot, Lowes and my local hardware store sells schedule 40 AND schedule 80 fittings and valves at 1/2~2/3 the price for the pool store. Anything special about the pool store fittings?

    I feel a little dumb ... I just bought 2 Jandy glue fitting ball valves off of fleabay for ~$30 which I thought was a bargain but when I was at Home Depot this afternoon I saw that schedule 80 ball valves with THREADED fittings were going for ~$12.
