This involves draining the pool, which can be done with a submersible pump and attaching it to a sewer point which will usually be within 100 feet or so of the pool.
Then openings are punched into the bottom of the pool and the top 2′– 3′ of the pool, along with the bordering deck, are separated and laid in the bottom of the pool.
