Just a little reminder with this rain coming in over the next couple of days. This pool had been empty for a number of months and with the sudden rain event last week popped OUT of the ground by 150-200mm at the shallow end. The pool is located at Shailer Park Qld and is on a hill - so receiving water from their neighbors properties which is all going under and around the pool and has floated it like a boat! Please don’t leave your pool empty for extended periods - and if it is and weather is coming throw the hose in it to put some water in it to weigh it down. This is just heartbreaking for the owners. A concrete pool just like a fibreglass pool can
pop out if the ground from hydrostatic pressure.
