How did you connect your pvc to the pool's soft flexible hoses?

I like this idea, a center drain in any pool is a must, I tend to plug everything but leave valves open in case water does get in the line and freeze it has somewhere to expand to if needed and not ruin the pipe or valve... Could always try and get some of that pink plumbers antifreeze into that line and back into that little "trap" under the drain, might save you a headache later

I need to do this! Don't know how to connect it all to the pump though. Anyway you could do a video on thar process? I'm a 55 yr old female with zero knowledge about the pool pump I bought. The whole box had no instructions at all.

Did you worry about the liner tearing or stretching away from the drain?
@danielmiele6467

No, the liner is reinforced and besides once you get a few feet of water on top its going no where.

my area requires dual floor drains and anti entrapment drain cover ..but I like the idea of using hard pipe instead of flex.

I don't run the pump while pool is being used. I also have a second inlet to the pump that is not shown in video.

I've seen this question asked but not answered. What did you use to seal and do you have any leaks?

I have no leaks. Just screw the cap down tight. I usually oil the rubber gasket to get the cap to turn and tighten that much further.

@@danielmiele6467 did you ever think of burying the drain (near the drain) and capping off with cement? I would think it would be soft around the drain...

Glad you liked it. Upgrade your filter to a sand filter if you get tired of rinsing your filter off every few days. Here is the Hayward filter I upgraded too. www.backyardcitypools.com/pool-pumps-filter-systems/Hayward-VL-Series-Filter-System.htm Works amazing !

JUST DONT RUN PUMP WHILE YOU ARE SWIMMING...NO FEARS OF ENTRAPMENT...LEAVE DRAIN - SKIMMER AT 50/50 SUCTION...YOU BE FINE

With a bit of clever pipework you can actually use the floor drain as a flow and swap it to drain with proper valve placement

I did this modification to my intex and just so happen to habe the same filter/pump setup, i myself had concerns of the kiddos stepping the drain and getting stuck but when i tested before allowing the kids in the suction isnt all that bad, not even enough to cause discomfort on the bottom of my foot. Highly recomend this mod if your having problems keeping your pool clean.

Aside from the Virginia Graham issue that seems easily fixed with a dome cover, I was curious about leaking. Did yours leak at all? Did you add anything special to seal it?
@danielmiele6467

I've had no leaks and this is year 10 of doing this. I only run the pump at night.

You may not realize it but this setup is EXTREMELY dangerous for anybody swimming in that pool especially children. Not only is that a single suction point but its small and provides a great entrapment risk. A second drain or even a skimmer will help minimize the suction entrapment risk however you still have a vortex of water as well as a flat cover and all dome shaped pool drain covers will prevent suction entrapment and maybe even reduce the amount of suction. I highly recommend you look up the Virginia Graham Baker pool and spa safety act
