This involves draining the swimming pool, which can be performed with a submersible pump and connecting it to a sewer point which will generally be within 100 feet approximately of the swimming pool.
Then openings are punched right into the bottom of the pool and the top 2′– 3′ of the swimming pool, along with the surrounding deck, are separated and laid in the bottom of the pool.
