Q: Will my pool collapse if I drain it?

• <div><p>You can avoid pool collapse&mdash;known as pool pop in an inground pool&mdash;if you follow the instructions on how to drain your pool safely. Wait for a temperate, dry day and slowly remove the water with a sump pump, hose, or the attached drains and hydrostatic plugs.</p></div>

Q: What is the ideal pH for swimming pools?

• <div><p>Any number between 7.2 and 7.8 is an ideal pH for swimming pools or 80 to 120 ppm. Your pool testing kit should be able to measure both of these numbers. If your pool&rsquo;s pH is below this range, the water is too acidic and can cause scaling and damage to pool equipment. If the water&rsquo;s pH is above this range, it can decrease the effectiveness of necessary chemicals, like chlorine.</p></div>

Q: Should I brush a pool before shocking?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to brush a pool before shocking. Brushing the sides and floor loosen up anything that is growing on the surface, such as algae. It is then easier for the pool shock to kill the contaminants because more of it will come in contact with the chemicals.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to take all the water out of an above ground pool for winter?

• <div><p>When you&rsquo;re winterizing your pool, you need to drain some of the water to prevent cracking and warping from ice. Nonetheless, you should never drain all of the water. Ideally, you&rsquo;ll lower the water level to anywhere from four to six inches below the skimmer. This will protect the structural integrity of the walls, help prevent your pool liner from warping, and reduce damage from debris. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to drain a pool for an acid wash?

• <div><p>There are some companies that offer acid washes that do not require pool draining. However, the process can take several days and requires a bit more elbow grease to scrub the pool surface compared to draining it entirely. Since your pool surface and age are both a factor, work with a professional to choose the best method.</p></div>

Pool Table Assembly questions, answered by experts

You can avoid pool collapse—known as pool pop in an inground pool—if you follow the instructions on how to drain your pool safely. Wait for a temperate, dry day and slowly remove the water with a sump pump, hose, or the attached drains and hydrostatic plugs.
