Vinyl Liner Pool Overflow

by Gary

I have a liner pool and when it rains heavy I am scared it will go over the top lip of the liner so I drain it. Is there a way to install an overflow drain of some sort? ( I am a first time pool owner )




Hi Gary. The best overflow system I know of is a Hayward return fitting installed just above the normal water line. This would be like installing a second return except this fitting would connect to PVC pipe and run off into your yard or someplace. It could also connect to a backwash hose and only be used when you think it's needed.

I offered a few other suggestions to the same question on this page.
