12 inches of rain in the last 5 days has led to 2 questions.
1. When the water rises to the top of the pool is there any damage to a running pump? I turned it off overnight, when I knew the rain would bring the water level back to the top.
2. Will somebody explain this? One night I got the bright idea to leave the filter selector switch on Waste before cutting the pump power on the circuit breaker in the garage so I wouldn't have to brave the storm to drop the water level the next morning. To my surprise, the storm broke and the water level had dropped below the skimmer by morning.
Let's just skip the comedic irony of filling a pool after 12 inches of rain, on a lake that has flooded 1/3 of the back yard.
CYA level should be great, though.
