Seems to me if drained, the liner would discolor and maybe dry!! I think the weight of the water would hold it in place. Up north, you winterized it, by putting chemicals etc. in it and some tubes for expansion from freeze. Some people had covers to keep out leaves etc, and from filling up from snow and rain. Here in Florida, it has to be a different exposure. Can't help to believe, that with the hot sun on dry pool all day, what can happen. I wish I had that problem!! hehehe But seriously, you might want to reconsider decision. You could always have an aquarium??? Good Luck
