Pool draining is the traditional method of removing all the water from a pool, usually done to reset water chemistry, fix plaster issues, or clear out water that’s become too high in calcium or dissolved solids. A pool draining service typically uses a submersible pump to empty the pool over several hours.
A pump for pool draining needs to run continuously and be monitored, since draining too fast can put pressure on the pool structure. Timing also matters — draining is usually only recommended when outside temperatures stay below a certain range, to avoid damaging the plaster while the pool sits empty.
Pool draining and cleaning often go together, since an empty pool gives easier access to scrub the walls and floor before refilling. At No Drainer, we specialize in an alternative to this process — using a pool draining pump built into a mobile RO trailer that filters the water instead of removing it, so the pool doesn’t need to sit empty at any point.
