I'd like to drain my above-ground pool a few inches so that I can replace my skimmer basket. I have no pump other than the one that usually pulls pool water into my filter.
Can I use that pump to drain the pool a few inches? For example, could I just pretend to be vacuuming, except instead of stopping when the water level gets to the low-water mark, I'd just keep going until the water level has gone down several inches?
Or will that bring too little water into my pump?
Thanks!
