Pump went out. How do I maintain until parts arrive

[IronKneebone]

Hi folks. First off, Pool water is awesome and pool is awesome thanks to TFP.

Tonight I heard a bit of pump noise and decided to clean the basket and see if any pine needles made it through to the impeller.
Cleaned everything up, filled with water, and started the pump. Everything was good for about 5 minutes. I heard a horrible rattly-airsucky-type of noise and my pressure dropped.

Long story short, the nose on the Diffuser in the pump came apart. So I ordered a bunch of replacement parts for the Tristar.

Here's the question:

Tonight is Wed. I won't have the parts until Saturday Morning. How do I maintain the water without the pump for the next 2 days?

Thanks in advance.

Take some Motrin and grab the brush. A Wall Whale brush will really move some water and keep things mixed, but I wouldn't rush out and buy one unless your current brush is wearing out already.

Thanks Richard, that is what I'll do....especially the Motrin Part


After posting this I remembered that I have a sump pump in my shed. I think I'll throw that in as well
