Pool leveling..where do you discharge your water?
 

Lot of rain lately..do you pool owners discharge down your driveway to the street drains, discharge into your yard or?

Never had to discharge. Why would you? I've been through 3 days of hurricane rain and never needed to discharge.
Is your pool overflowing into your living room?

We do not have a pool. Some questions are better off not asked. I think the law is you need to hold it for a period of time to allow the chlorine to dissipate. Some people have saltwater pools. The salt, first of all does not dissipate and it will damage plants.

This is the wet season. We have not yet gotten a major rain storm.

We have an auto leveling system. 1/2" PVC pipe Into the yard. It doesn't drain that much.

Dumb response my friend..rain adds inches..it is normal to pump excess.:boxing2:

T&D is the primary builder of pools in The Villages, for years now their standard installation includes a level control system, the auto fill is controlled by the same type of valve as is in a toilet tank and the overflow line is a 1/2 in. line that drains into the yard. Simple system that works well.

TD did our pool but no auto fill...would be a nice feature though. Hayward Tristar can drop an inch in 10 minutes when needed.

We have a TD installed pool. No overflow feature. There is an “auto leveling” line plumbed in but we capped it off.

2 years so far and never needed to draw down the water level. If needed we have a 175’ 2” flexible hose that attaches to the pool pump and discharges into the street gutter.

We manually top off the pool when needed - haven’t had to in almost 4 months.

If needed there is a hose that would run down the driveway to the street drain. Has never been used.

We also have a 2" lay flat hose attached to our pump. When T&D needed to do repairs to our tile they rolled that hose out to the street and pumped away.

We also have the auto fill/drain system. I keep the valve closed to the auto fill. If you ever have a leak or your float somehow gets set higher than the overflow you'll never know it until you get your water bill. For the most part the rain is keeping the pool full. If we run into a dry stretch and we lose too much water due to evaporation I'll turn the valve on, fill to desired level then close the valve again.

That’s a big no-no. Water should go into your yard—not the storm sewers.

Apparently it isn't so normal here. See all the responses from people that have never needed to. Where are all the responses from people who have had to do so?
(I'm not dumb, and I'm not your friend)

Drain pool
 

I have lived here for about 5 years and had to drain a little after heavy rains maybe only 3 times. At the pool stores they sell a bright blue plastic hose that attached to your filter and can drain water if needed. Pools here are not that big, so you are not pulling off much water. I too have a leveler, but never saw it take water out, only in when water evaporated during a drought. The other end of the hose gets put into the grass or beds near filter. It has never killed the grass or plants. Did it that way up north for 20 years.

Did you ask the folks who installed your pool? I'd start there......

Pool Autofill
 

We have an auto fill installed and a pipe that drains excess water from pool. Anytime there is a heavy rain we see the excess water draining right outside the pool/bird cage area. You can't drain a lot of water from a salt pool into the yard because it will kill the grass. If repair is needed, T&D drains the pool directly into the storm drain. I have seen this done several times in our neighborhood. Most of the pools in my neighborhood are at least 16,000 gallons.
