will this work to drain an inground pool?

yes but it will take a very very long time, take the volume of the pool and the hose size 3/4 inch and multiply. Unless time is not of essence. It would be better to use a 1 1/2 sump drain pump which is not that much more expensive. when the pool gets down to a couple inches of water then use the zoeller pump to remove the remainng water.

Should work fine as long as the water is not too hard. Take a sample to your local pool supplies store and ask them to test it.

As long as you can get the water into it and its outlet can be tied into a drain, it should work

You would be far better off using a sump pump designed to do that task. There is no drain port, sump pumps can be rented cheaply, and if you did try to make your own drain and use this to empty large volumes of water you would burn out the motor quickly.

Absolutely not! Pool pumps draw 20 to 30 amps and need to be on a dedicated line.

Yes. It comes with a drain hose and an overflow drain hose. Can set it up to drain with one hose or use other if reservoir becomes full. Set mine to continually drain.

I'm not sure, I just plug it into the return fitting where the skimmer basket is located. You need to keep the debris basket emptied next to your pump however.

Yes, it will work fine and also help with pH levels and reduce the amount of chemicals needed to maintain pool. Make sure to use an outdoor unit. (scalewatcher 5 star)Jay-Better Water Store.

It may be a bit overkill for that pool. But yes it'll work. Not sure on adapters.

It would probably get clogged and take forever to drain. I would use a $35 1/2 HP electrical pump if you can.

Not sure. If that drain runs to the input of the pump, it most likely won't do any good. The suction from the pump will not allow the particles to plug up the leak.

It will work if you can keep the pump at angel, if not the pool cover will stuck to the bottom of the pump. I was thinking to rig a round metal mesh to put at the bottom of the pump so the pool cover will not stick to it.

It should work fine for that. I know my spa had a bigger leak in it and it sealed fine. I was draining around 350 gallons a day and it plugged it up.

The drain connects to 2" pipe, either PVC of ABS. Be sure to use an appropriate cement - either PVC to ABS od PVC to PVC

that should work fine. we had a sink that we tapped into the drain line, but your idea should work. we had no problem other than operator error and got good service when we did need help.

I use it for an in ground pool and works perfect. It will also work for an above ground pool if you have the proper piping.All it does is, that the same pool pump you have runs the water through the panels before going back into the pool

I think it would. The adapter for the end of the hose is weighted and designed to draw water from the bottom of what you're pumping out of. That being said I've never actually tried it but in theory it should work.
