Should you empty plaster pool to clean it?

Emptying a plaster pool to clean it is generally not recommended unless absolutely necessary, as it can damage the plaster and lead to costly repairs. Instead, routine maintenance, such as brushing, vacuuming, and using appropriate cleaning chemicals, is typically sufficient to keep the pool clean. If the plaster is heavily stained or there are significant maintenance issues, consult a professional for the best approach. Always consider the potential impact on the pool structure before deciding to drain it.
