Best Answer

until it is empty stupid/ Contrary to Einsteins answer do not drain your above ground pool completely. This will take all the pressure off of your liner and cause it to start shrinking which will cause damage to your liner. Connect a water hose and have water continuously flowing into your pool. You want to allow 6-7 inches to remain in your pool.

Vinyl liner in pool is slipping down can anyone help or know repair person?

You'll have to pump the pool down far enough to get the liner lip back into the groove. If you need someone to do it check out pool businesses in the phone book.

Can you empty and then refill your dirty gunite pool?

* Yes, you can drain it. DO NOT leave it empty, however, but refill promptly. If the pool is empty and there is a lot of water in the ground soil, it could cause the pool to float and crack. == == * I have had this house for 4 years and have drained my gunite pool every spring, acid-washed it and refilled it. So far no problems. It does need resurfacing, but not because of what we did. It needed that when we bought the house. I understand that the cost of that is about $10,000. Which means... it might rather be a pond, or a cemented area with an above-ground pool. * Pools should not be drained completely unless the water table is low. Otherwise water table pressure can damage an empty pool. I never drain my in-ground pool more than 18" below the deck, and keep chlorine tablets in floaters in the pool all winter, which cuts down on brackishness. Removing cover & cleaning in spring just means brushing & vacuuming everything to the filter, then backwash. Sparkling water in one or two days. * When I lived in Texas, people with this problem installed plastic liners. Some of the ones I saw looked like a tiled pool.

How far up do you fill the pool?

If it is a flex-wall pool, do not fill the top 6 inches. This could create pressure that would weaken the wall. Water may need to be added due to evaporation in outside pools, or removed to drain water from rainfall.


How do you get tadpoles out of the pool?

Use a net to remove those that you can. As tadpoles cannot be living to deep in the pool, you will likely not need to go very far down. Drain the pool. Those tadpoles that are left will likely die, or be easier to remove with the net. Depending on where you live, frogs will probably not stay around a dry hole for very long and will move on. From there, you need to only clean the pool and refill it using chlorine to keep out such creatures in the future. Use a cover to keep them from coming back in the colder months, or drain the pool again.
