  1. Uh, no, that's stupid.


  2. Depends on where you are located and how the water and sewage rates are calculated.  Ecologically it is better to treat the existing water with a good cleanable filter and a small amount of chlorine.  That much water is several hundred gallons.  Dumping it down the drain is a total waste.  If you do not have to worry about freezing in the winter, get a good tarp to cover it and run the filter unit.  The amount of chemicals needed will be greatly reduced as heat and sunlight is what depletes the chlorine level.  I have taken care of a 57.000 gallon pool for 5 years and with stabilizer and good filters the winter chemicals are very sparse.
