I can attest to the worth of these relief valves.We built a concrete pool roughly 900 SF 13 years ago. We had a high water table condition during construction which we managed throughout. We did however raised the finished grade of the pool 2' to work above the water.Following construction and prior to filling, we installed (2) of these automatic relief valves in the floor drains as a precaution.They proved their worth following 12 days of straight rain. My customer literally saw the water level in the pool raising a week after the 12 days of rain. They thought perhaps the automatic filler was stuck and adding water to the pool.It was in fact the relief valves doing their job and relieving pressure behind the pool. Without these in place, the pool most certainly would have "popped". An inexpensive part to avoid serious expenses in the future.NOTE: Years ago, 30+, these were available in brass. May still be but the O-rings still breakdown over time.

I drained my concrete pool down to about 2 feet and attempted to remove the valve, it cracked but the ground water is making its way through, problem is that the ground water just keeps flowing up. What's the easiest way to keep that section dry while I paint the pool other than sealing it up and risking damage of course, I've thought about a small sump pump (seems prone to failure) or how about threading a PVC pipe into the valve hole and letting it rise up and out?

the water that pushes through must be a little dirty ya? but it goes right into drain suction you dont really notice?

So is this for when you’re draining your pool or if your pool springs a leak

@@JustAddWaterDiving yeah, we live at the top of a hill in Temecula, CA (warm climate). do you think we need to worry about the hydrostatic pressure if we empty the pool to resurface it?

My pool doesn't have this valve, but it has a plug the screws into a threaded hole where this valve might go, has a square socket hole in the middle. My question is, can I back that plug out and let the ground water outside my pool drain into the pool so I can pump it out? Changing my liner and trying to patch up the concrete base where some holes and washouts have popped up.

It sounds like you have a liner you wont have a hydro valve on that type of liner
