I want to empty some of the High CH Water out of the pool before we get rain so I can lower the CH - not a lot of course, just enough to allow for the rainwater to refill. Our system has a manual valve located after the filter that when opened has a pipe that leads to the house drainage system.
Is there anything special I need to do to use this? Of course no one from the Pool company showed or told us anything specific about it at the time of the build. Do I just turn the pump on (assuming a lower rate) and turn that valve and let the water flow until it gets to the level I want then turn the pump off?
And what is the correct order of event for opening that valve up, turning on pump, turning off pump, closing the valve?
Thanks for any help!
