4 D 419 Aq Thursday Pools Sm

Thursday Pools
Thursday Pools' patented Geo-Hydro Valve allows fiberglass pools to be safely drained by relieving outside groundwater pressure to prevent fiberglass pools from floating. If outside groundwater pressure exceeds internal pressure, the Geo-Hydro Valve will open and allow groundwater to enter the pool through a filter (which prevents entry of debris that often causes standard hydrostatic valves to get stuck open). This process allows the pressure to equalize, preventing a dangerous floating-pool situation. Located on the lower pool sidewall, the valve is accessible from the ground level making it much easier and safer to maintain than standard hydrostatic valves.
