You have to be careful about emptying any in-ground pool. Normally they have a hydrostatic valve in the deepest part of the pool in case there is ground water built up around the outside of the pool. If there is the valve will allow ground water into the pool. if there isn't there is a good chance that the pool will start to float in the ground water. In effect the only thing you have to worry about is that there is no water under the pool if there is you will need to find a way of getting rid of it before emptying the pool.
A pebble Tec pool can become damaged after being left empty for as little as six hours. The sun is the enemy of a drained pool.
As long as you like just be careful that no ground water gets under it as this will be able to float the pool upwards out of the ground and then it will probably become a jack hammer job
Pebble sheen is the finish on the surface of a pool gunite is the cement that a pool is constructed from in other words you can finish a gunite pool with pebble sheen.
Leaving a pebble tech pool empty during winter is not recommended, as it can lead to damage from freezing temperatures and water table fluctuations. The surface may crack due to expansion and contraction, and the pool structure could be compromised. It's best to winterize the pool properly by balancing the water chemistry, lowering the water level, and covering it to protect it from debris and harsh weather.
It shouldn't after all the top of the pebble tech pool is out of the water forever and it doesn't seem to hurt it. However be careful that you don't get a build up of ground water around the outside of the pool, This can cause an empty pool to start floating and that will definitely hurt it. If you have a hydro static valve at the bottom that works it should be ok.

It is not necessarily better, just different. The pebble finish can come in mini pebble and regular pebble. The mini pebble is pretty close to the quartz aggregate finish(diamond brite) as far as texture, feeling. The regular is much rougher on your feet( kids and sensitive soles can vouch for that). As a contractor I hear this question all the time , and the answer is: if you use your pool frequently, go with quartz aggregate, if you care about the way your pool looks, then go with pebble. Pebble will be around 30% more than quartz aggregate. It is really a matter of preference. Premium Pool and Pavers, Odessa , Florida 727 271 5975.
Is the pool full or empty? Depends how long they were in there. If it was just overnight, no big dal. If it was a week, I would shock the pool. Pool Masters.
have crack in pebble pool approx 14 years old ,being told it is due to uncured coping being used ,what can i do, it goes about 3mts from stair to stair, thank you.
Yes, as a matter of fact you do have to empty the whole pool if someone vometshere is why.The chemicals in vomet spread thoughout the pool.The cholrine in a pool can not clean vomet, its to strong.If the swimmers see that they didnt empty the pool they would never come back to swim.No, if its feces(poo) then you will have to do a shock treatment and cholrinate it again.
Empty it out or place it in someone else's pool if that person's is empty at the time.
