    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.
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
