Why Draining and Refilling Your Pool Isn't as Cost-Effective as You Think

As responsible pool owners, we're often faced with tough decisions regarding pool maintenance and water quality. Recently, we received a common yet excellent question from one of our customers that we believe many pool owners would like to know the answer to: "Isn't it much cheaper to drain and fill... or am I missing something?" In this blog post, we'll delve into why draining and refilling your pool may not be as cost-effective as it seems, and why our pool water reverse osmosis service offers a truly incredible deal.

The Drawbacks of Draining and Refilling:

It's understandable why some pool owners might consider draining and refilling their pool as a cost-effective solution. However, this approach comes with several significant drawbacks that are often overlooked. Firstly, draining and refilling not only wastes thousands of gallons of water but also exposes your pool's plaster to potential damage. Plaster is meant to stay wet, and exposing it to air can cause it to contract and delaminate. Considering the cost of a potential re-plaster job, the expense of draining and refilling your pool quickly adds up.

Hydrostatic Pressure and Structural Damage:

Furthermore, pools are designed to be full of water for a reason. The weight of the pool water pushing outward compensates for the weight of the groundwater pushing back in. Draining a pool disrupts this delicate balance and exposes the pool to the effects of hydrostatic pressure. Instances of pools "floating" or experiencing serious damage to the surrounding area are often the result of draining and not properly managing hydrostatic pressure.

Water Quality Concerns in Southern Utah:

In Southern Utah, refilling a pool with water straight from the hose presents another challenge – elevated levels of calcium. This is not the ideal way to start, as high calcium levels can lead to various water quality issues and maintenance challenges down the line.
