Never unless some one has dumped something dangerous or unfilterable in it. It may be necessary to lose some of the pools water from time to time in order to reduce mineral build up or excessive salt in the case of salt water pools but just about any thing that happens in a Swimming Pools water can be handled with the right treatment.

When draining an in ground pool you must always be sure that groundwater surrounding the pool is not high enough to cause the pool to start to float. Even a concrete pool Will float if the groundwater under it is too high. Many pools are fitted with a hydrostatic valve in the deepest part of the pool to allow ground water into the pool if the water pressure on the outside of the pool gets too high.
