Hi all,
We live in Southern California and I'd like to drain our 30k gallon, plaster pool about halfway. The goal is to bring the 70 ppm CYA down to range (and remove nitrates that the pool guy's test says are high). My plan is to get a reasonably beefy electric pump and drain into the large drain we already use for backwashing the DE filter.
I was wondering:
Thanks.

I was wondering:
- Does a pump like the Tsurumi HS2.4S-62 make sense for this or is it more intended for shallow, dirty water? I'm just looking for something that will last a while and can push a minimum of 50GPM. It feels a little overkill but I don't want to be messing around with a 10GPM garden hose.
- Does it makes any sense to try and reuse the pool vacuum hose we already have? The pumps look to have a standardized 2" threaded attachment and I'm wondering if there's an adapter/reducer for the push-on 1.5"(?) end on the manual vacuum hose. It seems like this could be a common thing to do unless I'm missing something. I'm not opposed to buying a specialty hose, it's just more clutter.
Thanks.
