Lakes and Ponds don't have Pumps... As long as the water is clean, jump in! i just wouldn't suggest ingesting the water
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.
1/2 horse power

To properly hook up a pool pump, first, make sure the pump is placed on a level surface near the pool. Connect the pump to the pool's filtration system using the appropriate hoses and fittings. Ensure the pump is securely connected to a power source and follow the manufacturer's instructions for priming and starting the pump. Regularly check and maintain the pump to ensure proper functioning.
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. I have drained pools by siphoning but you need enough grade to do this or a hillside behind the pool with a long enough hose to prevent soil erosion. You're better off renting a submersible pump.
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.
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.
Long enough to turn over the full amount of water in the pool every 24 hours.
Just get a 1 1/2 horse pool pump and that should do the job beautifully,
So long as there is water coming through the pump when it is running it doesnt matter what the water level in the pool is.
Draining the water from the "pump" (I'm assuming you mean the filter) should only take a few minutes. How long it would take to drain the water in the pool down to the winterization level would depend on the size of your pool and the pump you are using.
