Should you drain water from the pool after rain

You may thought that the swimming pool already full of water, the Light raindrops wouldn't make any difference. But the truth is, no matter a rainstorm or several small, even light showers can break the balance of the swimming pool. It will definitely affect your pool chemistry, if not solve it immediately. It will cause a series of serious problems.

So should you drain water from the pool after rain? That depends.
