I want to repaint my 12ft inground pool. Can i empty it without any problems?
make sure u remove the plug in the drain at the bottom of the pool,this allows any water that may have accumulated under the pool from seepage to evaporate and equalizes the pressure that may be created by emptying ur pool. You will need to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a high power pump to empty the pool. Also you will need an unclogged drain near the pool for all the water to empty into.
What do you do with the water in the pool when replacing a liner?
Empty it out or place it in someone else's pool if that person's is empty at the time.
What could be the cause for your pool whips to stop moving after two hours of filtration when the pressure reads normal on the sand filter?
Clean and empty in ground pool filter, clean and empty filter near pool pump. Be sure all whips are clear of dibris. also do a flush of the system. If this does not help, you will need to have a C02 charge done between the pool line and the pool pump. OR you may need to have your impeller replaced in the pool motor.
How long can an in-ground pool remain completely drained?
The pool should stay empty for as short a time as possible. When the pool is empty the walls are subject to relativley extreme changes in temperature, compared with the stable temperatures of water. Shrinking and expanding (with temperature changes) of the pool wall surface will result in cracking. You then face the joys and expense of repairing the cracks. The bottom line is: Empty the pool only when you need to, do whatever you intended to do while the pool is empty - and start refilling it immediately. Just wanted to add that a pool left empty can "float"..that is to say it pops out of the ground, rising above ground level several inches or more. The ground surrounding the pool, especially if it is wet, is heavier than the pool surface, and puts pressure on the pool walls, which could cause tehm to crack, or "float" the pool. Having said that, I had my pool empty for a long time before I had it re-plastered and nothing happened to it. :)

If a gunite pool is empty for extended period of time what damage if any will there be to the plaster etc?
If a pool is left empty, it will lift partially out of the ground due to moisture under the pool after a heavy rain.
How long can a pebbletec pool be empty before damage is done?
A pebble Tec pool can become damaged after being left empty for as little as six hours. The sun is the enemy of a drained pool.
Can a concrete pool pop?
If you mean can a concrete pool pop up out of the ground then the answer is Yes it can. All you need is an empty or partially empty concrete pool and a lot of ground water around it once the ground water around the outside of the pool builds up enough the pool will start to float. I have seen it happen several times over the years. To avoid this happening most pools have a hydrostatic valve fitted in the bottom of the pool to allow ground water into the pool when there is a build up of water pressure outside the pool it flows into the pool to stop it from floating.
