    Sorry for the delay.

    The answer is, it could work. But it also could blow out your filter or lines.

    I used to try to explain to people how to solve plumbing and hydraulic issues like yours -- there ARE ways to install it safely. Unfortunately, I discovered over the years that virtually no one was able to follow through successfully on my instructions. And since they take a LONG time to write (and draw), I've quit doing it. Sorry.

    Better bet? Use liquid pool chlorine OR bleach to maintain your pool water till you have a new pump OR close the pool.

    The forum is currently only minimally active. Your best bet, if you still need info is to use the Super Search page, to create special search links will allow you to search PoolForum. A phrase like "[]" may produce answers you're looking for.

    Upgraded membership and moved thread to the Equipment section section. You may need to log out and back in to see everything.

    PS.You can search use Google to search multiple pool sites, using Google's 'advanced search operators" to limit your search to specific sites. This page of mine will create the search links for you. Google knows my site -- and all the others -- much better than those sites internal search functions! And, if you need to post pictures -- of your pool, filter, pump, piping, what-not -- there are instructions on this page

    Please note: the Super Search page does NOT search directly; it only CREATES special Google links, that enable a FOCUSED Google search!
