I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with this situation. My pool has become like a swamp, literally. It hasn't been cleaned in a year and a half and has become a mating ground for frogs. It is black! I had the idea to drain the pool, clean it, and refill it. The pool guy that installed the pool told me this was a bad idea. He said that if I drain the pool, it will collapse due to high ground water. Understandable, I live two blocks up from the ocean. From all the websites and forums I have read, it doesn't seem like it will collapse immediately. I cannot run the pump to circulate "shock" because of all the leaves at the bottom. I cannot see the leaves at the bottom to clean them because the water is black. I figured draining and scooping the crud out would be the best idea. If I did this in a matter of a weekend, would I be safe? It is my fault, and I take complete responsibility. I would like to save money where I can and not have to pay a professional to do this. I can rent a sump pump to drain it, and just use my hose to refill it. My husband said the liner needs to be scrubbed down because of all the algae. Please help! :(
Answer
It is never a good idea to drain in completely. I would drain it partially (about 2/3 of the water) and start cleaning from there. Scoop out as much of the debris as you can, refill the pool, run your filter, and shock the pool several times with pool chemicals. If you liner has been exposed to all this debris, etc., it might also need to be replaced. If you have an automatic pool cleaner, make sure that you run it frequently while you are trying to get everything back in tip top shape.

how much does an inground pool cost?
limetemple
medium size
Answer
Medium size would be an 18 x 36. Costs of construction can vary enormously. Expect that size pool to start at about 18,000 canadian dollars for a vinyl inground. A concrete (gunite) pool would be about 28 grand to start.
Extra costs can be incurred if the access to the dig is difficult, material has to be trucked father away to dump, if the area the dig is in is in a high water table or is very rocky.. The toys you want with the pool, like water falls or adjacent hot tubs. The pool equipment packages can vary from basic to hi tech advanced remote wall unit controls in the house for heat, automatic pool cleaner controls and even one touch and forget, timed pool fill valves.
