Hi,

I have this pvc pipe that goes from my deck all the way under my deep end. I was told by my pool guy this is a well I can pump water out from under my pool.

My question is when would pumping water from there be necessary?

I did open it up today since we got a lot of rain a couple days ago and found water to the top. So I connected a pump and put a hose all the way down (went really far) and started pumping but after 5 minutes the water stayed pretty high in the pipe. So I just let it be.

Any info regarding the purpose of this well appreciated.

Thanks,

Ilan
