Hello,
I just set up my first Intex 12'x30" metal frame pool a couple of days ago, but I have not set up the filter yet. As I have two small children, I did not fill the pool all the way, just about 2 inches above the lower filter hole. The filter return hole is about an inch and a half above the water level.
Here is what I'm wondering: Is it ok to run the filter with the return above the surface of the pool? I know that the instructions all say to have the water at least an inch above the return, but will anything bad happen if it pours out into the pool like a waterfall?
Thank you for any help you can give, I've searched online for the answer to this question, but with no luck.
