    Help!! Winterized pool possibly losing water

    The company that did winterizing drained water below skimmer and lines. I have a bad feeling that it's the liner. Do you think they replace liner now or wait until after winter? I'm thinking my pool won't make the winter if I wait.

    Sand under pool not firm

    I had my above ground pool installed on 5/10/14. I waited about a month before going in. When I go in now it is still soft and I can feel the sand shift slightly under feet at times. Will this harden over the years or is this a sign my installer did it improperly? Thanks
