Hi marilynd,

Welcome to the forum.

I have not ever heard anything like this before. where have you get the information? can you please explain it in detail so that we can also know about it. Hope some lender will soon shed some light on it.

Per FHA guidelines, a empty swimming pool is a safety issue and must be filled with water or dirt. If filled with water the filter system must be in working condition.

Per the above response, conventional also has this same requirement. While the latter could be lender specific, I've never worked for a lender who didn't require this.
