Why you Don’t Drain Your Pool

An empty swimming pool that popped out of the ground

Popped Pool

Save Water,
Save Time,
Save Money

Use Your Brain before You Drain!
Draining a swimming pool can result in financial disaster.
Always take proper precautions before draining a pool or avoid draining altogether and hire a company that can complete your pool repair without draining the pool.

When a swimming pool is drained, a natural hazard is temporarily created by the absence of water in the pool. As a result of this natural hazard it is possible that the following conditions might occur:
1) the pool might “float” due to hydrostatic pressure or surcharge conditions;

2) the shell may crack;

3) there may be checking or “blistering” in the plaster;

4) a person or animal could fall into the empty or partially empty pool, injuring themselves and/or the pool;

5) the pool light is cooled by water, if turned on while not immersed it will be damaged and may blow up.
Remember:

* The weight of water in a pool helps it maintain its shape and structural integrity.

* Draining a pool can make problems like cracks and popping plaster worse.

* Dumping pool water into the sewer is now illegal in most California counties.

* You will be charged to refill your pool if you are on a water meter!
