Best Answer

After having heavy rains for two days, my in ground pool only lacked about a half an inch from coming over the top, I don't think it would have flooded my house but I didn't want to take that chance, so for $350.00 I had an overflow drain installed that runs out to the ally. This also eliminated me hooking up my garden hose to the pump and manually removing water.

Additional answer would be that your pool deck should have deck drains build in. That in combination to the overflow should be adequate in some or most areas if they are kept clean and are cleared regularly. Places with high rainfall may want to have a portable pump to remove excess water. Sometimes a sand filter can to that task.

No but if the pool is very full the static skimmer wont work because it is completely submerged. You can get around this by using a floating suction side skimmer such as a dragonfly. I let my pool over flow every chance I get because it saves money on water and letting water go to bring the water level down is also a waste of salt if you have a saltwater chlorinator.

They can, particularly in cases where your pool has reached its preferred level and an extra heavy rain comes along.

Will the ground pressure crack your basement wall if you install a 27' diameter pool about 23 feet from your house?

I assume you're talking about an above ground pool. 23 feet should be plenty far away, unless you have a really deep basement. I'm only a wannabe engineer, but my understanding is that loads generally transfer down through the ground at about a 45-degree angle. That would mean that the pool should be at least as far from the house as the depth of the basement at the near point. If you're anywhere near that number, you'll want a professional opinion.
