Dränering pool

Remove the plugs using large pliers, allowing groundwater to enter the pool.
Continue pumping out this water as it enters. Our thorough process includes:
• Expert Chemical Analysis: We'll test your water thoroughly to understand what went wrong and prevent future issues.
• Professional Draining: Using specialized equipment, we safely remove all water while protecting your pool's structure.
• Surface Inspection: Once empty, we examine your pool's surfaces for any damage or areas needing attention.
Begin balancing chemicals when the pool is about 75% full. Set up your submersible pump and hoses as described for above-ground pools. Summer heat can damage empty pool surfaces, and winter’s frozen ground can cause “pool pop” in empty pools. When the water level is too low for the pump, prepare to address hydrostatic pressure.
Dealing With Hydrostatic Pressure
Hydrostatic pressure is a significant concern when draining in-ground pools.

Weekly specialist visits
A specialist will visit your property weekly to make sure your pool is looking its best.
To prevent this, do the following:
- Drain pools only during dry weather when the water table is low.
- Always remove hydrostatic plugs when draining in-ground pools.
- Never leave an in-ground pool empty for extended periods.
- Refill the pool as soon as possible after completing maintenance or repairs.
Protecting Pool Surfaces During Drainage
Empty pools are vulnerable to surface damage, especially in hot weather.
We have had a lot of trouble with the pool, and they have taken care of it. Very professional and fast service. Can't recommend them enough.
Great job replacing my pool motor today. Use a garden hose to start filling the pool.

The Science Behind Crystal Clear Water
Your pool's chemistry is like a delicate ecosystem.
To protect your pool, do the following:
- Avoid draining during extremely hot or cold weather.
- Keep the pool surface damp if it must remain empty for more than a day.
- Cover the pool to protect it from debris and sunlight.
- Complete any necessary repairs or cleaning quickly to minimize exposure time.
Post-Drainage Maintenance and Refilling
Once you’ve successfully drained your pool, address any maintenance needs and properly refill it.
We had many problems after a new installation of a spa (in-ground) and Rancho Pool kept trying to figure it out until they succeeded. Rainy seasons increase the risk of hydrostatic pressure issues.
Aim for a period of dry weather with daytime temperatures below 85 degrees Fahrenheit for best results.
Tools and Materials for Draining a Pool
To drain your pool effectively, you’ll need the following:
- Garden hoses (enough to reach from the pool to the drainage point)
- Hammer
- Large pliers
- Replacement hydrostatic plugs (for in-ground pools)
- Screwdriver or chisel
- Submersible pump (available for purchase or rent)
- Sump-pump to garden hose adapter
Safety Gear and Precautions
Safety should be your top priority when draining a pool.
To mitigate this risk, locate the hydrostatic plugs in the pool floor, usually in the deep end.
Back wash may be drained to the sanitary sewer system provided the water passes through a separation tank prior to discharge, the connection is in compliance with plumbing regulations and there are no harmful chemicals present.
