Question: I’m intending on doing a partial or full drain of our in-ground plaster pool due to the high CH (850). PoolMath suggests a 82% drain to get my CH to 350. (my fill water is 240 CH). I’m not concerned about how long it will take. I have 50’ of pool hose (1 9/16" inner dimension), and a 50’ garden hose (5/8” inner dimension).
1 - I assume I have nothing to worry about regarding the water table since we live in the desert. Am I correct?
2 - Would there be a problem to connect these two very different sized hoses in regard to the different volumes of water that would pass through them?
Here’s some additional information that may help:
The pool is 30’ long x 9’ wide with 2 deep ends (one on each side). There is a 6’ rise from the bottom of the deep end to the top of coping, then 50 to 55’ horizontal to the sewer pipe.
If I read it correctly, my pump states that the Max Flow Rate is 3566 GPH, and the Head Max is 9m (=29’?)
