Hi,

Not true, well kinda, The PVC pipe will most likely get brittle from the chlorine running through it inside before the sunlight detroys it.

I have worked on PVC plumbing systems on pools that were 18 years old. Maybe your neighbor was using DWV(thinner wall) PVC and not SCH40 which is usually required and has a much thinker wall and is made for pressure not drainage.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Joseph

My neighbor was saying that her pool guy recommended painting becuase UV rays slowly make the pipe brittle over time.
