John Stephens in comments: “If the water table’s high enough, you can’t drain the pool or they float right up out of the ground. It’s a real problem in the swampier parts of Florida, and probably elsewhere.”
IDNKT – I Did Not Know That. And haven’t confirmed it, but it sounds reasonable in coastal Florida, where there’s nowhere for the water to go because the whole state is so close to sea level. Whenever I’m in beachy Florida I’m amazed at how surface streets are flooded 10 seconds after a storm begins.
