Heavy rain for days - draining needed?
Hi again,
As of 1 week ago tonight, it has rained almost every day and very heavily. The water is now above the skimmer, about 2 inches below the top of the pool. Should I drain any water out of the pool? I do have a shop vac with a hose drain connection so perhaps I could use that. I did search from draining, raining etc but couldn't find any relevant advice. I will backwash Saturday (supposed to be nice) and retest. I assume it is ok to test 24 hours after the rain stops. The pool looks pretty clean, just a few leaves etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen
