Hello, I'm still in my first year of inground pool-ownership & have a newbie question....
It's raining a lot down here in NW Georgia. Is it okay if the pump comes on (we have a timer) if the water gets above the skimmer? Or should I leave work to go home and drain the pool some? Thanks so much!! :-)

It'll be fine. The skimmer won't work very well but it's not going to hurt anything. You can drain it this evening if it doesn't have an overflow.

Now stop worrying about the pool and get back to work!! :mrgreen: JK!
