Thanks for the link. This is exactly what I was looking for. We do have an overflow drain in our new pool (it appears to be at least a 2" pipe) but we've never been through a storm like this here in metro Atlanta. My wife thinks we should pickup a pump just in case. I've got one of these waiting for me at Home Depot but still not sure that I need it: Everbilt 1/4 HP 2-in-1 Submersible Utility and Transfer Pump UTA02510 - The Home DepotPrecautions and Procedures During Floods - Further Reading
I would want a larger pump like the 1.6 HP that's $83 on Amazon. But you probably can't get it in time. Get them both and then return the home depot one when you didn't need it.
Yeah I realize this is pretty slow but there's not much to choose from as you can imagine! Maybe I'll pick this one up and leave it boxed so I can return it if we don't use it.
I have this pump and it works really well for me. Noted my pool is much smaller than yours, but I can lower my 18' over 2" in about an hour. I would purchase and keep in box just have in case you need it.
Instead of picking up this pump I decided to instead focus on getting a generator to ensure we can maintain power so I ran out of time and didn’t pick it up. However, so far our overflow drain has worked great even with all this rain (still coming down now). I’ll probably get a pump later but I’ll look at the other options on Amazon and I saw several at Harbor Freight as well.
