I live in Phoenix so I'm not really too worried about the pool popping out of the ground. Currently the pool is about 2/3 empty. A couple more hours and it should be completely empty and ready for me to get started first thing in the morning.

Well I'm happy to say that all went extremely well. Saturday morning I started by chlorine washing the pool. I used 4 gallons of 8.25% bleach and lightly agitated it with a brush followed up by a good rinse. After draining that mixture from the bottom of the pool I had a few stubborn stains that I got up with a weak acid solution. After that I pressure washed the pool and then filled it. WOW what a difference. My pool was built in 2002 and I bought the house in 2004. In 2009 I had the pool acid washed but I honestly think that it looks better just from me pressure washing it than having it acid washed.. I am now working on getting the water balanced and then it's time to put in the SWCG.
Glad it went well!
