Draining rain water from pool

How to drain pool while we’re gone 😎

[marines]

Started raining now and just bought a house with an inground pool. You are a lifesaver. Thanks!

Thank you for the views and comments.
I did this video solely for my sister in law to use while my wife and went out of the country. Never imagined so many would see it.

Bolts vs screws in the narrative? Point taken.

Waste water? Our pool had an incomplete, in ground drain system when we bought the house. The pool waste water was plumbed to it.

Turning the filter head one way? You may be right. My pool installer showed me how to operate every thing one time 17 years ago. I’ve done it the same every season without issue.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for this video! Very descriptive for wives that don’t normally do pool maintenance!

I was taught by the pool company that you always turn clockwise. In my case, turn from filter to waste clockwise, and then again from waste to filter clockwise. They told me to not go counter clock to return to filter. It could be that your model is different or... that my pool company taught me wrong.

Just had pool replanted. Took the opportunity of a heavy rain to manually vac pool to waste, lowering water level and cleaning plaster from pool.

The waste doesn’t go back to the pool because it goes directly to the outside and not the filter correct?

With a variable speed pump, what speed should it be set to when pumping water out of the pool?

Love you too random guy who's video I'm watching because tornado weather overflowed the pool.

Good stuff we had major storm and 6 inches in one day of rain!

Where is the water draining to? Just onto the grass or into a drain away from the house?

[bmaiceman]

So my question is THIS!!
Where does YOUR pool waste port dump that excess water???

[johnmichaelkarma]

it's not often you hear a guy refer to an obvious screw as a bolt numerous times

[MsLira-swes]

Uh, no bolts on my drains and my pump looks nothing like that

Mine is hardly pumping any water out on waste, I will try again tomorrow
