Ok, thx ! This pump ok ...

It does say " backwards ", I just checked. Have no idea what it means. As I said, I have been doing the pool math myself for years, but have never needed to touch the valves. I have a drain in pool, the skimmer and another drain/ or inlet in the spa thing. How do I figure out what each valve...

My CYA is currently zero. Has been for a while, as I have been working on other issues when my SWG went wrong. To drain, do I just attach a hose to the valve with the metal wheel and open it up with pump running ? Thx

I was planning on turning the pump off tomorrow, and chuck a gallon of 10% bleach in. I do not know how much rain. We have already got about 3 inches last two days, not even from the hurricane, so everything is saturated. Could be 10-24 inches of rain. Idk. As I say, not dropped pool level...

I have not done it before. Was just thinking dropping it 12 inches, on the theory it would help stop flooding reaching my back door. Which it did once before, but did not make it over the the threshold

It says backwash. The person before me in this house was a DIY bodge job enthusiast; so nothing is " usual " lol. When I open the metal hose valve, water cones out. Should I just attach a hose and run it to the street and open that valve ? Thx !

I have a drain in deep end, skimmer and a drain in the built in " spa ". See pic. Thx!

I have a skimmer, not sure how to check of MD, or what valves I would open or close to do that. Thx !

Cool, I have a garden hose. Sorry, I was not specific enough; do I need to turn any of the valves or handles or anything, or just simply screw in garden hose and open that metal wheel valve ? Thx !

Hi, Never needed to drain water out my pool, the 11 years I have self managed it. Can you please tell me how I would drain it, based on the setup in the picture, and if you leave pump running while draining. Thx !

This is very helpful, as I can still use the display as a quick reference, thx ! Any idea what is the actual cause of it doing this, seeing as it has been fine the last 12 years I have been looking after it. thx !

Yes, I am sure they have all the caveats. However, it has always been within 200 for me, which is fine.
