I recently installed a new pump and filter. The tools and materials that I needed were: 1. Screwdriver for connecting the electrical wires to the pump. 2. An 8 foot piece of PVC pipe from Home Depot. 3. An assortment of PVC elbows and adaptor fittings for the pipes (also from Home Depot) 4. PVC primer and glue (yes, from Home Depot) 5. A hacksaw to cut the pipe into desired lengths. 6. A file to debur the cut face of the pipe. 7. A tape measure. 8. A spirit level to help in the measurements. 9. Thread sealant Teflon tape. (Be generous with this stuff or you'll end up like me needing silicone caulk after the job is done and you find leaks!)
ANSWER::
Channel locks large enough to fit the fittings and or pipe and a knife and rags also come to mind.

Pools about groundwater?
This question makes no sence!!! If you have groundwater and want to build an inground pool you need to install a "well point". a Well point is a plumbing line which runs underground and pumps out "ground water" under the pool.
