Who knows the difference between an above ground vs below ground pool
pump?
Yes, I know that for a above ground pump, the water must be above the
pump.
However, if I have an above ground pump [bought by accident], is there
any way I can get it to work on a below ground pool?
How about filling the tube with water? Will that work?

Lift
No a above ground pump design doesn't lend to lifting water to any height
Must be below water level they have very little suction they push water
A lift of only 1' -2' will cut output and they are not self-priming.
will reduce per-
