Just had a thought. You could drain your water level down to about a foot low in the shallow end, or down by the volume of your water truck BEFORE the water truck shows up. That way you wouldn't be concerned with drain/fill ratios. I'm guessing that a foot of water from your pool is probably...

Poolrunsme, I'm the member that posted the tarp water replacement that a few members have mentioned to you. If you decide to go this route, here are a few items that I'd like to share from my experience last year. My total cost of water replacement (tarp, new water, and fresh chemicals for...
