How can we reduce the water capacity of our swimming pool?

Question

We are trying to reduce the water capacity of our swimming pool. Is there a way to do this besides filling the pool with cement?

Answer 1

?

Answer 2

Any solid object will displace water.

Such as a tanning ledge, in pool bar w/ stools, etc.

You may also consider cutting out the side skimmer & lowering it.

In a concrete pool, this would require tiling the perimeter

approx. 3 inches below the new  lower level.

Answer 3

Nope....not much can be done short of redesigning your pool. I have seen some people build out a wall into the pool....seal it off after putting a top on it. The top of this area has about 4 inches of water over it.....it's the place they put reclining lawn chairs so the can stay cool from water splashing on them while sun bathing
