How much water should you drain from an above ground pool for winter?

no you don't that isiligal

NO water must stay in you pool at all times.

no you will have to repair the sides of the pool. Cost more the you can save.

6 inches below skimmer.

Not all above ground pools have to be disassembled during winter, although it is a good idea to drain them. Water expands when it freezes, and if the water is trapped in a closed container or in a crack, the expansion can break the container or the material surrounding it. Pipes often break, when water inside them freezes.

You should never completely drain an above ground pool. The chemicals in the vinyl liner that allow it to stretch when originally installed do not last. If you drain the water, the liner will shrink and when you refill the pool there is a good chance that instead of stretching back the liner will rip instead. NEVER drain your pool.

If your pool is above ground it does not matter, But if your pool is in ground and you drain it it will act like a boat and float if the water table rises.

if it is a cosmetic pond put your fish in an aquarium and drain your pump so it doesn't freeze and break drain your pond

Yes it is.Always drain the water in winter or look for a new pool to buy because the damages will be of high standards.

It will be empty. Hope this helps.

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 :) .

Depending on where you live, you may want to totally drain an above the ground pool, especially if your area is prone to freezing temperatures. When such pool is not being used, it is always a good idea to cover it to keep dirt and leaves out. Yes, with continued use of chemicals. Otherwise, you're going to have a nasty mess to clean out come spring.

you should drain the pool and wash it out with a hose

no all you have to do is use a pump or the drain if the pool has one

You're supposed to drain your pool for the winter so that a layer of ice doesn't form, expand, and crack the sides of the pool.
