Hi,
Just moving into a property and need to drain the pool to lower the CYA level (up about 150!). The pressure side piping has a hose spigot installed. Is it acceptable to use the main pump (1hp) to drain the pool through this spigot? The skimmer valve looks like it maintains a decent seal when the water level drops below the skimmer inlet. Worried about damaging the pump motor or impeller though...
