Thank you so much for your advice!

The hole looks like it is about 8 inches in length; it is widest at the center (probably @ 4 1/2 inches) and then narrows towards each end to be about 2-3 inches. It actually looks as if someone stepped on that area and their foot went through. I am not sure of the exact cause...we have lived...

I would guess my pool is the same depth, maybe slightly deeper. I am going to try on Saturday...I'll let you know what happens! I will upload a pic of the hole (way bigger than a crack) later today when I am home. Thanks again :)

No. The entire floor of the pool still has water...but it's low.

It is on the floor and a little closer to the shallow end of the pool (than the deep end). I assume that it has been functioning as a relief valve because we lost a lot of water initially and then it seemed to have leveled off without adding more water. It hasn't rained in 5 days and the water...

Re: How to Drain a Fiberglass Pool without Damaging the Shel I have the same problem and have been researching before I drain my pool. I have problems because the water tables are high and I have not found a way (yet) to provide hydrostatic relief. I read somewhere that you can pump the water...

Thank you for your suggestions. I live on Miami Beach so I think it's safe to assume that the groundwater level is high. We have also had a lot of rain recently and I don't think I can assume that the city's drainage systems are working perfectly as they are fairly old. I do have a drain in...

I am looking for advice on how to repair a large hole in my fiberglass pool. I can see the dirt and the water has drained significantly. I would like to be able to drain the pool so that it can be properly repaired, but am worried about the hydrostatic pressure causing the pool to pop up. I...
