I have a Plaster IG pool.
My Cya is "around" 100.
If I were to drain the pool, what is the safe amount you can drain a pool down? We have pretty high water tables usually in Florida I think.
I'm interested in the max safe amount not only for now, but in case something needed to be done in the future for something else.

Do it in stages. Drain say 30% and then refill. Drain 30% again and refill. etc.
It uses a little more water (but not as much more as you would think) but makes it an absolutely safe operation.
