    circlenranch's solution will certainly work.

    We also have a valve and extra length of PVC pipe installed between the pump and the filter. The extra length of PVC pipe runs to and along the ground. The valve is normally closed but can be opened to divert all pumped water to the ground.

    Our PB put a regular hose faucet right before the inlet to the filter so I can put a hose on it and drain water into our sewer by running the pump and opening the faucet. Some water still flows through the rest of the plumbing so its not a complete divert but it does the job for me. I only drain until the skimmer starts bubbling so I dont run too much air through the pump.
