As long as you like just be careful that no ground water gets under it as this will be able to float the pool upwards out of the ground and then it will probably become a jack hammer job
Will it hurt the pebble tech finish if the pool is drained for 3 or more months?
It shouldn't after all the top of the pebble tech pool is out of the water forever and it doesn't seem to hurt it. However be careful that you don't get a build up of ground water around the outside of the pool, This can cause an empty pool to start floating and that will definitely hurt it. If you have a hydro static valve at the bottom that works it should be ok.
Do you have to drain your pool in the winter?
Probably not a good idea. an empty pool is always in danger of floating if ground water gets under it. If you do keep it while it is empty make sure the hydrostatic valve works and that no water is able to build up under any part of the pool.
Can you just drain your pool and start fresh in the spring?
You can. but you should not leave an in ground pool empty for any period of time. Ground water building up around it is capable of even lifting an empty concrete pool out of the ground.
Can you empty a cement pool and leave it that way for a long period of time?
only if you have installed a pressure release valve as part of your main drain assembly. this ensures that pressure from underground water does not build up. this means your pool will not be pushed out or up by ground water. you may have to deal with underground water finding its way into your pool though. am not familiar with how winter will affect water less pool. A: You might also want to put a fence around the empty pool to keep someone from falling into it. Someone could get very hurt by falling into even the shallow end of an empty pool. k
