Took over the pool from the previous owner and now that the weather is getting a little bit cooler I want to look at water replacement options to reduce my CYA, currently at 120. I can either purchase/rent a submersible pump, use backwash to waste through my DE filter, or fill and use to overflow for a no drain approach. Thoughts on the best route to take?

This 1.6 HP monster is under $100 and if you cut the output attachment accordingly, will accept a 1 inch (good) or 1.5 inch backwash hose (better).
Every pool owner should own a good submersible pump. They're kinda like shop vacs. You don't need them until you do, and they're worth their weight in gold when push comes to shove.
A larger pump is appreciated at those times with considerably less time twiddling your thumbs waiting.
