Answer 1

Answer 2

Only partially drain the pool........refill and put correct amount of "shock". Then check the chemical balance.
There a 2 ways to drain it . The garden hose works fine. I use a 25 foot one so that I am able to drain far enough from the pool. I turn on the water in the fill up the hose disconnect the hose making sure the water doesn't drain ( need that to start the syphon) out stick one end in the pool and the other end below remove the spray handle and let it rip.

Answer 3

Is water standing around the pool?

It looks like your answers are to drain the pool. You cannot drain a vinyl liner pool without replacing the liner. Some people have gotten by with it ok, but most haven't.

Dig a trench to allow the water to drain to a lower area of the yard. As you are digging the water will move. After you have moved the water, you can dig the trench deeper and put pea gravel in there.

Answer 4

well...you can unhook the return line from the discharge side of the pump, but that will only take the water below the pool return lines. to get ALL the water out you will need a submersible pump and backwash hose to take care of that. one word of caution....the walls could collapse if you drain all the water. unless you are getting rid of the pool or moving it, that could be dangerous.

If you are trying to make it swimable, i suggest draining half the water via the return lines, refilling the pool, balancing the water and clearing it by running the filter continuously until its done. You will need to backwash or clean the filter (which you no doubt have always done religiously) daily and re balance the chemicals daily as well until it sparkles. If you have a small filter or are still having issues after a few days of babysitting your system, you may need to use a flocculant to clear the water, then vacuum the sediment on bottom to waste....good luck....i never did like above ground pools...they are certainly a hassle

Answer 5

this is somthing that should have been done during installation and is dependent upon the soil type.in general,a ditch needs to be dug around the pool perimeter.it then needs to be filled with crushed stone. this will aid in drainage.

this should be done a soon as possible as the water will undermine the botton and cause other problems.the worst being a collapse of you pool.

Answer 6

Siphon it. I put a 6 foot hose in mine, and start the siphon on the end of the hose out of the pool.
