My only concern with losing the main drains is that we are pretty much full sun all the time. Like, relentless, brutal Sun with no shade, which is really why we need the pool. Our liner is very dark also. I assumed having main drains would circulate the water better and keep it cooler. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am happy to simplify if it doesn't affect the comfort level of the pool, but I know it is impossible to add them back later. Just want to make sure I understand the benefits first and that there isn't a better solution for our situation (having to concrete the entire slope and hopper because of the lack of shelf.)
I will try to post a picture later of the yard showing the grade to the porch.
Jimmythegreek- We should still have a couple of months to work before it gets cold. It never gets REALLY cold here, but I know some things are easier to do in warmer weather. Are you most concerned about concrete or the liner or something else?
PoolguyinCT- What I am calling "the shelf" would be the virgin ground that should be the surface the pool walls are set on. We only have that in the shallow end now.
Thanks for all the advice!
