Aftermarket Pump on Coleman Pool? No water control valve on inlet

Hello All,

I have an 18ft coleman above ground pool.

It has 1 outlet and 2 inlets that go to its crappy pump. I will be installing my own today but noticed something odd when reading over the instructions.

The outlet has a water shutoff to close the water flow from the pool to the pump. However, the inlets do not have this valve?

You can see in the photos that inlets labeled "B" have no shutoff and just go to the "T" connector.

Since these inlets are about a foot below the water line, whats the best way to swap out the pump without getting water everywhere :)
