In Arizona, it is best to drain your pool in the Winter.

The pool water that is drained out will mostly evaporate instead of being used to water the lawn or other plants on the property.

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.
