I'm starting to work on a plan to close my pool.
Some of the posts I read talk about taking into consideration the level of the water table when lowering the pool water level for closing.
My question is - how do I figure out the level of my water table and what is "too high"?
I don't have a well and there is no separate hole near the pool that some posts have mentioned.
I do have a passive sump pump drain in the basement which has some water in it. Just eyeballing the level of that water would put it at or below the level of the main drain in the deep end of the pool (about 8.5 feet deep relative to the top of the liner). Obviously this would not be too high, but I just don't know if this is a good indication of the water table.
