Hi,
Long story short, we have a ton of dirt in the pool and need to get rid of it post 1yr of construction. I'm looking for the easiest/most cost effective way to address that situation.
I've tried vacuuming, but noticed after a mere minute of it that dirt was being pushed back into the pool through the filter outlet. I cleaned my filter and noticed it's now in need of replacement parts, but is this really the best way to do it? Vacuum 1-2m, clean the filter, rinse & repeat? Water is quite expensive around here, so a total refill is possible, but it's probably going to cost $300. This is weighed vs the cost of chemical shock & maintenance I'd still have to do post-dirt removal I suppose. It would be a lot easier if I had a means of pumping the dirty water from the vacuum out to the sewer. Technically I can connect the hose to the pipes after the pump and dump water out that way, but not sure that'll make it any easier.
