Pool Drain & Fill Guides

Draining and refilling a swimming pool is an important part of pool ownership in Arizona, where hard water and extreme evaporation can cause minerals and dissolved solids to accumulate over time. Knowing when and how to drain your pool can help protect pool surfaces, equipment, and water quality.

Arizona homeowners should consider factors such as water hardness, total dissolved solids, pool surface condition, outdoor temperatures, and local drainage requirements before emptying a pool. Draining during extreme summer heat can potentially damage certain pool surfaces, making proper timing especially important. Refilling also requires carefully restarting equipment and balancing fresh pool water.
