Run the discharge hose to someplace that is not prone to water damage or flooding, away from any buildings or structures. Do not drain it onto the grass unless there are no chemicals left in the water (the water is green). I have actually hooked up the pool returns to a hose and attached sprinklers to it to disperse the water that way. Hatawa
What else can I help you with?
Can you change a above ground pool center drain with water in it?
Where is the drain located? If it is on the wall near the top then you can keep the water in the pool. If it is near the bottom then you may have to drain the pool.
Can you drain a pool during the winter months to replace the vinyl liner in the spring without damaging the pool shell in Mississippi?
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.
Drain very bottom of pool no working why?
Perhaps it is not a drain but a hydrostatic valve. These are fitted at the bottoms of pools to let ground water that has built up under an empty pool into the pool in order to stop it from floating out of the ground.
Pool floor drain is plugged?
If this a newly built pool then have the company that built the pool ~ or the plasterer ~come back out and finish their job of prepping the pool before the start up. Whatever it takes to clear the main drain of the cement is their job and they have shirked their responsibility. If they say they have to drain the pool this then that will be at their expense. There should be no charge for this task and they should also pay for the water to refill the pool. k
Can you drain a fiberglass in ground swimming pool?
No!!! Under no circumstances should you drain a fiberglass in-ground pool. Unlike the standard in-ground pool, the fiberglass pool base is unreinforced concrete or other hard surface material that was applied directly to the soil in a thin layer. It is only there to allow the fiberglass to be sprayed on and form a hard shell. The weight of the water is what holds the fiberglass in place. If you drain the pool without refilling it immediately, you will allow external ground pressures and/or ground water to buckle the sides or bottom and you will have the fiberglass completely redone.
Do you add antifreeze to an above ground pool?
no all you have to do is use a pump or the drain if the pool has one
Should you drain your pool when it is about to overflow?
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.
Can you just drain your pool and start fresh in the spring?
You can. but you should not leave an in ground pool empty for any period of time. Ground water building up around it is capable of even lifting an empty concrete pool out of the ground.
Will it harm a new pebbletech pool to drain it for the summer?
Not a good idea, hydrostatic pressure can push the pool up out of the ground.
Do you have to open a in ground pool every year?
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 :) .
How do you know if ground water is coming in under pool liner?
One way would be to install drain tile in the yard around the pool deck to carry excess ground water away from the pool.
Do you need to drain an in-ground pool every few years to recycle the water?
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.
