I calculated it'll take 10hrs to drain 1/2 of 21K pool given pump flow rate of 1K/hr. When I checked at 4hr, 1/2 to 2/3 of the pool is drained already. So there is no 2 stage refilling. Either the pump flow rate is wrong or the pool volume is wrong. I tested 1 part residual pool water with 2 parts of tap. CH and CYA are in range. So hopefully everything will work out.
Is it ok to turn the water off at night before it's completely refilled? Will it promote algae growth since chlorine level is low? Keep in mind that there may be a nidus of algae growing. Can nylon brush be used to brush off algae or does it need to be wire brush?
