Pool Drain & Restart

Depending on your pool’s age and usage, pool draining may be recommended as part of regular maintenance.

Not sure if your pool could benefit from draining and restarting? Our experts can help. We recommend pool draining and restarting when chemical residue in pool water affects its appearance and clarity and cannot be remedied with filtration and other conventional methods.

Swimming Pool Water Chemistry

Pool water chemistry is a delicate balance. If it’s off too much in one direction or the other, it can cause problems that range from cloudiness to discomfort for swimmers. Once pool chemicals reach a certain level in the water, they cannot be diluted.

Pool conditioner, calcium, phosphate, and other additives can reach high levels that encourage algal blooms and leave scale on pool tiles and inside pool equipment. The only solution is to drain unbalanced water and restart your pool with fresh water. 

Turn to the experts at PoolLogic to test your water and, when necessary, drain and restart the pool for your health and safety and to improve the beauty and longevity of your pool.

The Benefits of Professional Pool Draining

Chemicals are necessary to balance your pool’s water and keep it safe to swim. Unfortunately, oversaturation can create an unsafe situation in its own right. It can also lead to damage to your pool surface and equipment.

Pool draining and restarting requires specialized equipment and plenty of time. All the water must be pumped out, the surface of the pool inspected, any necessary repairs or cleaning performed, and then the pool must be refilled, and the water balanced. Even for seasoned experts like ours, the process can take between two and three days.
