What is the best way to get water out of a pool? Is there a way to use the pump to pump out the water - I'm thinking backwash but my filter is all taken apart for cleaning.
Basically my DH decided to move the piping for our equipment today but since the pipe from the pool to the pump is lower than the current level of the pool, the water is leaking out into the hole that we dug to fix our rain drains (not associated with the pool but part of the pool project).
We want to divert that water coming out and/or pump it out behind the house.
Any immediate help would be greatly appreciated!!!

p.s. There is a tap attached to a hose coming out of the pump but I have never used this feature. DH thinks this would probably pull the water out if he attached a hose to it and ran the pump. BUT, the filter is open and apart - would this be an issue?
