Depending on how much water you would need to remove you have two choices:
1. Turn off the power to your sand filter and the set the handle on top to either backwash or waste. Turn power back on, This will eliminate some water very quickly. Be sure to turn power back off when done and return the dial to filter.
2. To drain the pool I would recommend renting a pump from someplace like Home Depot. Do not leave a pool empty too long if you plan on using it again.

∙ 15y agoTo drop the water level, take water out. This can be done using whatever method you use to drain the pool.
If the water level is too high only when there are people or pool toys in it, check the maximum capacity of the pool, and make sure it is not being exceeded.

How is an above ground pool pump different from an in ground pool pump?
In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.
