Hi and cheers for taking the fourth dimension to read this thread.

I have grown tired of replacing the blueish backwash drain hose and would similar to hard pipe it to my sewer clean out. I was told by my pool cleaning company to run an 1.5" pvc pipe from the filter aftermath line to the clean out. The run would be approx 150ft west/ approx four-90s and 6-45s. Would this create too much back pressure? If and so, would I be able to backwash on depression speed? So confused!!!!!

Why so many turns? It should not be a problem for the pump to run that far although you shouldn't aftermath on low speed anyways.

I should take been clearer inn saying I had already ran the piping as the pool visitor advised me. The reason for so many turns is where my sewer cleanout is located I had to go under my driveway and effectually a few things.

The previous homeowner hardplumbed my backwash....under the backyard, past the garage, and so through the wall, up and over the garage door, back downwardly then out to the cleanout within a planter. I asked the ool service guy about it. He shook his caput... said the water menstruum was excessive and flooded the planter and made a huge mess. He besides said it didn't work very well -- to much backpressure. I wasn't upset when the pipe got stepped on and croaky.

There are probably regulations against discharging the water into the street. I use cellulose so it biodegrades and just flood the lawn when I aftermath. Yes, the vinyl hoses suck, just I only backwash maybe twice a year. I don;t call back it's worth it for me to invest in a better hose, or repair/ reroute the plumbing.

No the 90's you've mentioned would not cause nigh the resistance those bluish aftermath hoses produce. That is, provided the distance is the same and the turns are similar. I'm curious though, is in that location a reason y'all're not using 45'southward to soften the plow a bit? This makes quite a difference in dust drove equally well. Whenever you can avoid an sharp turn of direction y'all should make every endeavour to do so. Fifty-fifty if you used a long 90 it would aid. Remember, that water is slamming into that turn every bit if it hits a wall. You could reduce the resistance significantly past using 45'due south spaced further apart.

Btw, I hard plumbed mine into my rainwater drainage for my house and pool deck 21 years agone. It has been wonderful. No cleanup, no droppings, no hassle. The divergence is that I ran nigh fifteen' of 1 1/two" PVC that met four" drainpipe for the remaining 150'. All down hill. I hope yous're not dealing with whatever kind of incline.

Using two 45's vs one 90 is actually a bit more resistive due the the 'steps' at the gum joints, still the difference is negligible in measured head. Proper piping size is more important to menstruum than choice of fittings.
