2. To fill it with dirt, it would cost over $12,000.00 (inspection, permit, blah, blah, blah.
So I went with pool reconditioning.
3. I was told that if you keep the pool empty, it would lift somewhat as it needs the weight to keep it down.
4. The plaster would get destroyed if you left it empty.
Wayne,
Good luck!

Wayne and I discussed this. Now I see that the plaster is not that good now, so it's not like a brand new pool. I had a old dog of a pool and acid washed it and then finally painted it, Looked great for some time.
AFA lifting, he has had professional advice on the surrounding soils condition and he has a good situation AFA peculation, etc. This should work out.. As last course remedy for a pool that wants to float out of the ground, coarse gravel and a sump pump could stabilize an empty pool that is getting nervous.
One website I went on to read had this theory that pools didn't move but saturated soils around it would. It wasn't quite like the pool would float on the ocean, so how would it float in it's own mini lake?
Hey, just one person's writings.
