Hey TFP'ers,
I am replacing the suction side of a circulation system inside the pool shed. The equipment is below the water level. Admittedly, I forgot to look if there is a loop outside the shed so I am wondering if there are any tricks that would prevent water from feeding into shed once I cut away the 2 valves on suction side. I assume I can just position the filter head to closed to prevent flow from return side. I can also plug the skimmer but there is another valve for main drain. Both valves tee into the front of pump.
I realize dropping water level will do the trick but it's balanced, heated water in the pool so trying to avoid if at all possible.
Any ideas?

Dive in, remove the drain covers and bung them. Pump OFF and make sure someone is watching over you if you weight yourself down.
