Draining a swimming pool isn't something you do frequently—it should be done only when absolutely necessary.
Here's a quick breakdown:
Every 2-5 years, depending on water quality and maintenance.
When total dissolved solids (TDS) levels exceed 2500 ppm (can be measured with a TDS meter).
Before resurfacing or major repairs.
High mineral content (excess calcium or other contaminants making water difficult to balance).Every 2-5 years, depending on water quality and maintenance.
Severe algae infestations (when chemical treatments fail).
Structural repairs (such as fixing cracks or redoing plaster).
Replacing old water to maintain quality and clarity.
