In The Water, The World Falls Away I don’t clock my swims by distance, writes Kathy Gunst. I’m after something else, something other than the number of laps or miles.

Excited to start this project based upon this gorgeous design by EMI - Environmental Management, Inc.

Hey, we made the news!!

Coronavirus pushes swimming pool construction boom COLUMBUS (WCMH) – Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, several businesses have been hit hard, but local pool construction has been swimming. “The day after Memorial Day, Tuesday, we came in, we had 30…

Happy Labor Day!

Start to finish on this project.

Is your in-ground pool builder using flexible PVC hose like pictured on the left vs. rigid PVC pipe on the right? If so, it's time for a conversation as to why.

Flexible PVC should NOT be used because:

1) Ohio Plumbing Code states, "all plastic pipe, fittings and components shall be listed as conforming to NSF 14." Flexible PVC does NOT meet this standard.

2) The International Swimming Pool and Spa Code states, "plastic pipe shall be listed and labeled as complying with NSF 14," and, "PVC hose shall be listed and labeled as complying with ASTM D1785, ASTM D2241or ASTM D2672." Flexible PVC does NOT meet any of these standards.

3) Building codes limit how fast water can travel through the pipes. The suction side (from pool to equipment) is limited to 6 feet per second maximum and the pressure side (from equipment to pool) is limited to 8 feet per second maximum. Since local pool distributors only stock 1-1/2" and 2" flexible PVC the maximum velocities can easily be exceeded - especially when paired with a variable speed pump - creating a potentially DANGEROUS situation.

4) Flexible PVC is easily kinked if the maximum bend radius is exceeded and any deflection of the circular cross section increases the velocity of water in that section leading to increase headloss and premature wear. Termites love it too!

So why does flexible PVC get used? The simple answer is cost. Using flexible PVC, a pool can be plumbed in a few hours.The pool and spa project pictured on the left took our crew five days. The pipe sizes range from 1-1/2" to 4" and was designed with SAFE flow rates well below the maximums detailed above.

The only time plumbing can be done 100% correctly is during construction and it's imperative your builder gets it right!
