The open pipe joins the bottom drain (if there is one) and continues to the pump. The closed-off pipe is either capped off by the builder, or installer if the pool is fiberglass, or it leads to a pit dug beneath the pool, and is known as a "french drain" in the pool industry. The open pipe draws the water to the pump, runs it through the filter, then through the salt water chlorinator (if installed), and sends the water back into the pool through the returns. The closed off pipe is important, if it hasn't be capped-off, because it enables the pool owner to remove the ground water under the swimming pool, thereby eliminating the serious damage which can occur when the pool is emptied. Because all pools must eventually be emptied for repair or resurfacing, this pipe can make the difference between success and disaster.

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.
