Hello all, this is my first spring as a pool owner. We have a high water table every spring, my two sumps in the basement run non stop for around 3 months, then they are dry the remainder of the year. We have 100% sandy soil conditions for what its worth. Right now the water table is about 3-4' lower than the water level in the pool (that is to say, the water table is about 5' from the top of my decking). If it matters, the pool is about 7' in the deep end and tapers up quickly from there. So really only the deep end is surrounded by water right now. The pool is fully wrapped with concrete decking. I have read online that pools popping out is pretty rare and only really a concern if you are draining the pool. My pool installer suggested to pump in the spring, though I think this was CYA on his part.
Is there a general rule on when buoyancy becomes a concern? I assume the largest driver would be the water table height relative to the water height in the pool. More upward pressure the closer these get.
Thanks!
