New pool owners here and we started a bit rocky with a floated liner after we took possession of the house. I'm not sure its due to ground water, but it started the conversation of drainage and here we are. In talks with the pool builder, in '96, he did not put in a perimeter drain because of the site layout. The pool is positioned half way between the main level and the basement walk out, so you get an idea of the tiered slope. Attached is a pic of my drainage plan. The backfill is sand from what I saw tonight with some digging.
The red lines are 30in below the apron give drainage from the backfill. The yellow will be a french drain 12in below to capture surface water and redirect to the lower side.
We dug the deep end line tonight and probably do the shallow end later this year.
Any thoughts? I'm not sure how much this will help. Just looking for some added insurance.
