What else can I help you with?
John is trying to drain a swimming pool. He has two pumps but he can only use one at a time. He knows that the time a pump takes to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump.?
If the time it takes to drain the pool varies inversely with the power of the pump, it means that as the power of the pump increases, the time it takes to drain the pool decreases. Therefore, John should use the pump with the higher power to drain the pool in the shortest amount of time.

How do you drain a pool without a pump?
By opening the drain valve SLOWLY as not to cause a dangerous vortexI have worked on over 60,000 pools and have seen a drain valve once. The pool was built in the 30's on the coast and they used to pump sea water into it once a week and drain it to the ocean.

To remove the impeller from a Hayward Power-Flo LX pool pump, first turn off the power and disconnect the pump from the electrical supply. Next, remove the pump's front cover by unscrewing the screws, then take out the diffuser to access the impeller. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the impeller by turning it counterclockwise, and be cautious of any debris that may have accumulated. Once removed, inspect the impeller for damage or wear before replacing or cleaning it.
Can you use a 240 volt pool pump on normal house power?
Most typical US residences have both 240 and 120 AC voltage. The pump would have to tie into a 240 volt breaker in your electric panel. To ensure safety have an electrician familiar with pool installations install the wiring and motor/pump and also make sure that the breaker is sized for the motor amperage rating. In many pool installations a separate electric panel will be installed outside near the pump and any pool electric devices.
