How long has this been around, and what are the
advantages over 1" black polypipe? Will it crack when
frozen? Can it be buried and used as a line from a
well to the house?
Thanks.

It has been around in Europe for about 40 years. It is more flexible than
some of the other plastic pipes. It will expand a bit with a freeze, but it
is still possible to crack it. I don't know about burial requirements or
codes. A Google search will turn up plenty of information.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.
