Heavy Rain, Water Level Rising, Gunnite pool

[Bam Bam]

Last week it was drought and I had to add water. This week it’s monsoon and it looks like the water is about to rise above the decking.

Do I just put the filter in backwash or is there another setting to lower the water level?

Thanks!

Never mind. Googled. Waste setting. Brain drenched from fixing kinked hose on sump-like pump....

Waste would be quickest, but where does all that water go?

 

[Bam Bam]

Into the yard with all the other water drowning the fire ant piles! I presume on waste the water leaves through the backwash pipe.

Some waste lines are plumbed to city sewer and some just dump into the yard. Depends on local codes. If it dumps into the yard you have to be sure its not going to make more problems somewhere else.

The story of my life! Thanks.....Emptied the pool a few years ago for resurfacing. No problems then.
