lborne said:That's what they did for us with no problems. Our deep end is 6 foot and at that point we had over a foot of water. They had to dig down an extra couple of feet, put in a pvc pipe, and dump rock in. The pump ran 24/7 all during contruction and pumped into a swail until the pool was full. At the end, they capped it off and I suppose it would be used again if I ever needed to drain the pool.
