I have never seen the solar guys use anything but p.v.c. pipe from the pool equipment to the solar panels. They normally paint the pipes where they are above the ground to protect them from the u.v. rays and also to make them look a little better.

Ours was all run with white PVC and then painted...sounds like he's doing the "norm".

Same here - Mine were white PVC, but were painted the same color as the wall. You can see them running along the side wall. The equipment is within the dark brown fencing.

Livinwell,

your pavers are beautiful. care to share what they are?

thanks poolio - I have been pleased with them. Installed last August and no cracks or issues. The pavers are angelus interlocking concrete, color is sand/stone and bishop's hat is the pattern. I'm in SoCal and so is Angelus.
