Swimming Pool Plumbing Video: How to Install Skimmers, Returns, and Main Drain Fittings

Posted by Jason Hughes

This outfitting must be done by the pool installer and although it may seem simple in principle, it is a critical component to the successful installation of the pool. This step-by-step video demonstrates how to locate, cut, and install these components so they are secure and leak free.

Wow Jason, I know I'm biased, but this is the first time I've watched this video and I think it will be of tremendous value to anyone looking to learn more about proper plumbing around a fiberglass pool. Great work and great education. Keep it up.
