Hello, I have an above ground pool which I have been closing / opening for the past 7 years without issue. I drop the water level below the intake and cover the pool with a winter cover, take off the cover in the spring etc. The pool and liner were installed about 7 years ago.
This year upon taking off the winter cover I was left with a giant doughnut shaped Ice block and no water in the pool. There is obviously a hole in the bottom or very close to, based off what parts of the pool I can see I cannot locate any holes. I have been told that without any water in the pool the walls will collapse and this will be come a later issue. Currently the ice I'm sure is providing some support.
Do I just need to cut the liner away while the ice is still in the pool. I also have no experience in installing a pool or liner but fairly DYI handy.
Looking for some help on how to approach this?
Thanks
