Pump placement for above ground/in ground pool install

I’m installing an  above ground pool partially in ground.  It’s constructed for such an install.  It’s a 52" deep pool that will have 20-24" above ground and 28-30" “dug in” or below grade.   How do I position the pump ? Thanks

Hello Mike - The position of the pump will depend on the type of pump you install. Most above ground pumps must be installed below the water level because they are gravity fed. If you go with an inground or self-priming pump, you can install it above the water level or below.
