Can you drain your concrete pool to clean it?
Yes, I've done it several times over three summers. Of course it's not a good idea to leave it empty for very long (since the pressure of the water in the pool helps the pool stay in the ground) but sometimes it is necessary to completely empty it, say for removing a large spill of decomposing leaves, cleaning the bottom, or repainting the pool.
Should you get a self cleaning pool?

Can you empty a cement pool and leave it that way for a long period of time?

You have just learned that a neighbor is not treating their pool or running a filter Seems very gross but what can actually happen to your kids if they swim in this water?
The pool will start to grow algee, turn green, breed mesquitos and possibly give your kids hepatitis. Call the city/county vector control agency. Most cities want to stop insect breeding (west nile) and will fine the owner or make them empty the pool.
Just filled our above ground 18ft round pool with water. About 24 hours later there is a green look to it. We haven't even used it yet. Is this because of our water hardness level. We have very hard water.(from well) What can be done to clear up the water?
Your water is turning green due to algae. You need to scrub your pool walls to and then "Shock" your pool by adding chlorine. Keep your pool filtered and it should clear up in a few days.

Strongly not recommended. The pool uses the weight and pressure from the water to hold its shape, if you drain it for any extended period of time, it could collapse, the bottom could become uneven, or the liner could become more susceptible to damage.
What type of chemicals are you suppose to use in your pool to keep it clean?
You can add chlorine and that should keep the pool very clean.

GOOD LUCK..2nd AnswerAsk the real estate sales person to insist that the pool be brought to sanitized standards of the industry. And have an inspection done on the pool and equipment and electrical system. You can go as far as asking for a pool heater check, pump check, filter check and/or getting it done by your choice of pool service tech. If that request is refused then ask for a reduction in the cost of the property to compensate for you getting the work done.

Will green algae in a pool make you sick?
Yes, in fact green algae can make you sick. I learned that from a friend of mine that decided he could go in the pool and yes, he did get sick.I went in my pool (full of green algae) every day last summer and did not get sick. However, I didn't go under water and get the water in my sinuses very often. I'm pretty sure it depends on how healthy you are overall.
