Since it's looking like I have to drain some (most) of the water out of my pool, I'm looking for ways to not do a drastic full empty/refill process due to my concerns about the water table under the pool...I noticed that my pump going to the filter has a hose bib on it with a water hose attached...I'm wondering if it makes sense to simply put a city water hose in one end of the pool and open this bib on the pump and let water go in as water goes out. Does this make sense, and will it actually swap the water rather than simply pull out the water that I'm putting in?
Obviously, one has to consider what the gpm output of the pump is vs the gpm input of the city water, but assuming there was relative parity (or that I turned the pump on and off in a regimented fashion), is this an efficient and safe way to approach this?
