Hello TFP Forum. Seeking some advise from the group since no pool contractor wants to return a call. I have an in-ground 32x16 vinyl liner pool in the northern NJ area with a leak. Is there real danger with closing/winterizing the pool with it being half empty? Water level would be to bottom of stairs / just below top of the light if you can see in the pic below. I don't want it to collapse in or anything. I am looking to do an overhaul regardless, but it likely won't be until spring.
I definitely have a leak in at least two spots. I let it drain out without the pump on and it drained to below the skimmer / returns to just below the top of the light / bottom of the stairs (where I think it would stay once winterized). It stayed at this point for maybe 5 days. I then started up the pump by pulling from the bottom drain and let it run for 2 days and noticed the water level dropped even further. I suspect there is another leak at the pump pad (I have had some suspicion.)
Any comments / input appreciated. Thanks in advance!
