How long can a concrete pool be empty in south Florida and can it possibly lift up from the ground?
In South Florida, a concrete pool can typically be empty for a few weeks without significant issues, but prolonged emptiness—especially over a month—can lead to structural problems. The risk of the pool lifting, known as hydrostatic uplift, increases if groundwater levels are high, as the buoyant force can act on the empty pool. To mitigate this risk, it's advisable to monitor groundwater levels and consider draining the pool only during dry seasons or with proper precautions.

Can a concrete pool pop?
If you mean can a concrete pool pop up out of the ground then the answer is Yes it can. All you need is an empty or partially empty concrete pool and a lot of ground water around it once the ground water around the outside of the pool builds up enough the pool will start to float. I have seen it happen several times over the years. To avoid this happening most pools have a hydrostatic valve fitted in the bottom of the pool to allow ground water into the pool when there is a build up of water pressure outside the pool it flows into the pool to stop it from floating.

I've heard that it's not a good Idea. If the ground water level is high it forces the pool to rise out of the ground like a boat on top of water. Unlike concrete that is heavy. Fiberglass can float. It may not come out of the ground all the way. I suggest that you speak with a pool company and ask their advise.
