You mentioned debris in the bottom, are you confident it is all out, or as much as you can get. The large organics left in the pool will slow your process down. Get out as much as you can if you haven't done so already.

Thanks, The panel will be on the ground, I won't have to add for water column. Normal pressure on the filter is 20 psi so I think I am splitting a fine hair here. Just want to make sure I get max flow without bursting the panel/ causing leaks etc. Mike

wood pallets with the plywood and turf on top?

Added a pool deck to the existing lower deck just for access. I kept below the top ledge just a bit for maintenance and winter cover etc. same as Casey. I did skirt the bottom of the new deck with a frame and lattice.
