1/2 inch pvc with a cap on one end with a hole drilled through it. Lower into the water. Put your thumb over the hole, pull it out and dump into container.
Or, like I do, just use a small container and get some water out of the pool.
The other idea, if you have one, is to use the spigot at the equipment pad.
Does anyone have any neat gadgets to collect a water sample for testing? I'm getting old and arthritic and don't want to bend down kneeling on the concrete deck to stick my hand in the water anymore. I'm thinking about a small bucket with a string tied to it and a little weight to make it sink...

In addition to what Marty stated - if you ever doubt your pressure gauge on the filter you can open this spigot to relieve pressure from the system. Just be cautious if you have backflow (check valves) in the system because those can trap pressure as well.
