draining pool question/s

[aylad]

I don't know that the problem is that it will crack, but if you have a high water table, you CAN float it out of the ground. I'll let some of the others that know more about resurfacing chime in, but I wouldn't drain it until you have some guidance.

Sorry you haven't gotten any reponses on this, it's just that we have very very little traffic this time of year. I'll shoot out a few emails to folks on this forum that I think could answer your questions and ask them to pop in....

HI, I'm 'popping in'

Your worst enemy is ground/ surface water - it probably won't crack your pool but might cause it to float, which could be a bigger problem.

If you drain the pool to either replaster and/ or repaint, PLEASE be sure that the water under the pool won't get high enough to float the pool or wreck your improvements!

We can talk more about this if you have questions.
