Earlier this year we had a major tear in our vinyl liner causing about 18,000 gallons to drain before we could find the leak. We've patched the liner and refilled the pool up about 1/2 way, just below the returns. We're not 100% sure what our plan is next year, if we are going to go another season or two with this liner and gamble on the liner holding.......or if we're going to replace the liner and start new. For now however.....we've just held off on doing really anything.
My worries are with closing.....
As I stated, the water is just below the returns so no worries with any of that pluming, however it's also about 1/4 of the way up the light. I'm kinda worried about the niche freezing as there's no water there to help insulate it from the temps. I plan on pulling the light out, but that still leaves the niche exposed. Am I better off draining some water, to lower it just below the niche.....or is there some way to winterize this spot of the pool?
