Getting ready to drain my fiberglass pool, and would like to brush/scrub/clean it while it's draining. It's in pretty good shape, a little chalky when it's swept in a couple spots. Thanks

Be very careful draining a fiberglass pool. It is the weight of the water that holds a fiberglass pool in place.
Why can't you do the maintenance on the pool without draining?

Even in Arizona (where?) I would be careful fully draining. I have but recently use the No Drain when I had to drain. Now that I use softened water for fill water I have not had to drain.
Not sure what you would need to 'clean'.

Maybe clean wasn't the right term, something to use as we brush the walls and floor as it drains. Drained and filled it 3 years ago with no problems. I'm just south of you along the lake, and you know how bad the water is here.

I can lower my water level to just below the return jets for repairs. Anything lower than that and I start to get nervous. Of course my soil conditions are much different than yours. Be careful and good luck.
Here in Az the soil is gravel, rock, sand so it doesn't retain water. I'm not to concerned with it lifting / moving when empty. Almost done, the pump is kicking Rear.
