One Thing That Can Ruin ANY Pool

Regardless of whether you have a concrete pool, a vinyl liner pool or a fiberglass swimming pool, all of these pools share the reality that draining them improperly can break them. Or at least you could say it could potentially expose you to premature failure of parts of the pool which will cost you a lot of money, all the way up to and including a total loss of the pool. Draining a swimming pool requires considerations over and above how to get the water out of the pool. Every swimming pool needs to be evaluated for groundwater conditions as well as unique concerns specific to the type of pool you have and the geographic area that you are located in. It sounds like a lot to consider, and it is, which is why you should avoid draining your pool without first knowing this information. Some pools in fact are meant to never be drained and if you were to drain them you are pretty much guaranteed to be causing a problem. The way that you drain these pools safely is to have a more technical process. Looking at the example of a vinyl liner swimming pool you cannot simply drain the pool unless you install vacuums to hold the liner in place first. You can usually drain some of the water safely but there is a point past which you expose areas like the shallow and floor and without the weight of water on them they will shift and move and this is a major problem for an old pool liner. Even a new pool liner could be damaged from draining improperly like this. Concrete and fiberglass pools are even more unforgiving because they can pop out of the ground which is a permanent failure for the pool. You would have to basically install it again from scratch but first you have to remove the current problem. Avoid all of this by not draining your swimming pool without consulting a pool professional first.
