No the only thing it will effect is the skimmer and they rarely work too well any way unless you have a floating skimmer. evaporation and splashing will soon take care of it anyway. Rain is free water use it. Draining the pool will also waste pool chemicals.
Above-ground pools are not intended to be totally drained. The walls will collapse.
No , above ground pools are different in that you can drain them , the reason you cannot drain an in ground pool is because the pool is built to have water pressure , and it is very stressful on the walls , I hope this answered your question :) .
no you don't that isiligal
You could use your pool pump. or get a submersible pump. it is also not difficult to siphon an above ground pool with a pool vacuum hose. all you need is somewhere to run the water to.
If the oil is significantly above "max" on the dipstick then you need to drain some off via the sump drain.
About two bags per square foot.
It depends on your water chemistry, if you need to drain an in-ground pool every few years to recycle the water. If your cyanuric acid level is out of control you should. If you keep it balanced there should be no need to drain it and refill. Take your water to a pool professional to see where your chemistry is at.
Chlorine level in an 18' above ground pool should be between 2 and 4.

Drain it with a sump pump (you can rent one cheap) as for saving the liner it is kind of a craps shoot sometimes they stay in place and sometimes they move before pool is empty. Try draining it 1/2 way and see if that makes it possible to repair that has worked for me in the past, but they are usually are not savable I've worked on pools for 10 years and most of the time we drain an above ground pool the liner has to be replaced. Good Luck
The drain cock is at the bottom of the radiator above the splash shield. Either you will need to remove the shield or you will need a piece of 3/8" hose about 12 to 14 inches long to attach to the drain tube.
you need to know the PITCH of the drain line to give an proper answer
I would like to build a pool. What are the requirements for one to build an above ground pool deck?
