Cool. Thanks!

[@paulmeynell8866]

I like videos where they fix pool leak ,but this is brilliant it’s given me a great understanding of what all the parts are .

[@SwimUniversity]

Glad we could help! It's always good to know where everything is

[@cosminconstantin9114]

Will this be adapted to the endlessnpool system?

[@DG-mi2mc]

Thanks to this video i discovered after 3 years of owning a pool, that my Weir is missing. Ordered one up. Thanks!! 😂

[@SwimUniversity]

Oh wow! Glad you ordered a new one

[@HotSauceStain]

Same! I was missing the weir/door. The poll company didn’t put it in after they opened my pool for the summer, they left it in my shed. Lousy companies. I plan to graduate grom Swin Unersity so I can open/close my unground liner pool one day.

[@timrussell7761]

Has anyone ever plumbed a cold plunge in with a pool? Not for constant running, but to cycle the water from time to time for cleaning the plunge?

[@AlexAlex-bj1vi]

where to install the jets please ?

[@johnretired8213]

Where is pipe to take in ground water?

[@obuckeyeo5211]

Do we need to use PVC is it fine to use a flexible tube?

[@Jake-qf9to]

PVC is most safe

[@whetherlyotano4578]

what are the pipes connected to the motor? my grammys is leaking due to the pressure. i want to get her a new one

[@SwimUniversity]

The pipes connected to the pump? Those are PVC pipes that carry water from the pool skimmers, to the pump, and then to the filter.

[@graceadams7186]

I need HELP! I changed my sand in my filter. Trying to put my valve back on and it won't go all the way down flush so I can put the collar back on. Do I beat it down? Lubricate pipe?

[@SwimUniversity]

David has a video on this that might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poTGhJ-sfZ6bqsU

[@navidsablaghi9428]

I'm a pool installer and i come across this issue sometimes. Make sure the pipe inside the filter is exactly in the centre. Then it should go on easily. Sometimes you just have to beat it down to have it flush so u can wrap the collar around it. You should also grease around the tip of the pipe and do the same thing for ur valve. Wouldn't hurt to grease the rubber ring on the valve to avoid any water leaks.

[@verge77ds82]

wow

[@getup95]

I declare my pool the Poolarian Empire lol. Edit: Also, i just watch Swim University for fun because it's interesting. Edit: I like to drink vodka while watching swim university, and i end up becoming drunk after 5 mins.

[@SwimUniversity]

Thanks for watching!

[@bigayysfromspace2804]

"Never lube, 3 way valve." There's a dirty joke in there, I'm sure...
