Pool Drain and Clean in Orange County

When the water is too far gone or the total dissolved solids are too high for chemicals to work, the fix is to drain, scrub the shell, rinse and refill. In Orange County the water goes to the sanitary sewer cleanout under city rules, never to the street or storm drain. Acid washing the plaster is licensed contractor work and is quoted by licensed partners only.

Pool Drain and Clean FAQ

To your sanitary sewer cleanout, per most OC city codes. Draining to the gutter is a stormwater violation.

It is risky. Hot sun on bare plaster can crack it and high groundwater can lift the shell. Pros prefer cool weather and keep the pool empty as briefly as possible.

A typical OC pool holds 15,000-25,000 gallons. Check your water district for any refill rules or fees.
