What else can I help you with?
Can areas of exposed concrete on the bottom of a gunite or plaster pool be repaired with water in the pool?
No, because gunite will not dry if it is constantly being mixed with water. Drain your pool first.
Do you have to support the walls of your inground pool if you drain out all of the water?
NO however you should keep in mind that the ground water outside of the pool is not going to put pressure on it as this is capable of even lifting a concrete pool out of the ground.
Why would the concrete around the pool raise 1 inch above the concrete patio where the two areas are connected by a drain and what can be done about it?
I assume this might be to keep any dirty ground water from running into the pool.
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 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.
A pool can be filled with water in 10 hours Draining the pool requires 20 hours If the pool is empty and the drain is open how much time will be needed to fill the pool?
Trick question. The pool is empty but the drain is open. With an open drain, the pool will never fill, unless the water entering exceeds the water draining.True,-----------> 20 hours
How can I efficiently drain water from my pool?
To efficiently drain water from your pool, you can use a submersible pump or a siphon hose. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations when draining water from your pool.
How do you remove some water from your pool?
drain it
How do you change pool water?
Throw a submersible pump into the pool put the hose from it into a suitable drain and start her up. Take care that you don't have too much ground water as this could build up under an empty pool and lift it out of the ground and that would wreck it. even concrete pools.
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
Concrete pool no main drain so how do you paint it?
If there is no drain at the bottom or connected to the pump unit then you will have to get or rent a pump. You can usually rent one at Home Depot or a rental place. Some of these pump can several hundred gallons an hour so it would be faster than trying to do this with the old siphoning method. Depending on the area of the country you live you dont want the water out of the pool for very long cause a low water table can actually push the concrete up without the weight of the water in it. This is the way we did it when I used to have a concrete pool and would have to have the liner fixed or replaced. I used a submersible pump so that it got down really close to the bottom on the pool. Good luck.
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.
