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.

You can probably find the plumbing to step down to the right size but the pool pump will have more water flow then a garden hose can safely handle. Your going to ruin either the pump or yourself.
How do you drain a small 1000 gallon inground pool?
Buy a sump pump from a tool store like harbor freight or northern etc. The one I bought cost 59$ and hooks to garden hose. it pumps 960 gallons per hour. If there is a lot of debris, I suggest the dirty water pump.
How noisy is a heat pump and pool pump for an inground pool approximately 23000 gallons?

What kind of in-ground swimming pool maintenance is needed over winter in cold climates?
To winterize your inground swimming pool, first backwash the filter, and then disconnect the pump. Purchase winterizing chemicals for the pool water, and be sure to use a pool cover.
Putting in a new pool pump inground does it have to the same brand?
It would be recommended to observe the pump size rating (horsepower) and replace with a swimming pool pump that has a similar flow curve. In terms of brand name, there is no reason that you need to use the existing brand again unless you want to.
