You can safely drain it and it can be left empty for 6-8 weeks depending on your climatic conditions If there is an underground spring and your pool is empty, it will literally push your pool out of the ground. If you have a fiberglass pool, the pool will collapse because the dirt is just pushed up around it. The dirt will shift when the pool is empty. Also, if plaster is exposed too long in extremely high heat, it will crack. We don't recommend draining once daytime highs are consistently over 90 degrees.
