My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Rubber winter plugs or threaded plastic

13 years ago

What type of pool plug is better, a rubber expandable or threaded plastic?

Has anyone used the expandable rubber plugs for sealing off the return lines when blowing them out with success in closing an in-ground pool? The pool company used the rubber ones and I thought the threaded would be better. Thanks.
