OK, so I'm resigned to replacing ~12,000 gallons of water in my 28K pool to lower my CH from 600 to a more mid-range number.
What's the best technique? I could drop a garden hose in, start a siphon, measure how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon bucket and multiply when to stop the siphon. But as the water get's lower, won't the flow rate decrease? Are my accuracy concerns unwarranted?
I thought about renting a commercial 3" garbage pump -that would certainly be faster, but again, I have concerns about calculating accurately.
Is there an easy way to do this? Do some of these pumps have a gallon-age meter?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Dan
