Don't pools get emptied and refilled on occasion? How is the water cycled otherwise? Or does the same water just get cleaned and kept in there?

- dragonwriter 5y ago> Don't pools get emptied and refilled on occasion? It is sometimes (normally, at several-year intervals) necessary to drain pools due to chemical conditions, but even them the advice is to only partially drain certain pools in any conditions, and any pools where there is high groundwater, because of the risk of popping and other structural damage. > How is the water cycled otherwise? Continuously. > Or does the same water just get cleaned and kept in there? Yes, it is filtered and chemically treated in place.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoIt's a slow moving problem. Even in the swampiest part of the bayou you can drain a pool and spend a few months doing maintenance. In-ground objects lifting out requires certain soil conditions to happen at all depending on the properties of the object. Internet comments are likely not representative of your local conditions.
