I drain below the skimmer each year.
7 years, never had an issue. Looking at my pool though, the water level seems really low. It's the original liner. Can a leak develop in the off season? Maybe it was a really slow leak during the summer and with no refills, etc., it's now shown itself. Pool had floats in it and was covered.
How can I determine if there's a leak BEFORE refilling the pool?
I can search the area at and just above the current water level, figuring the draining would have stopped at the level of the hole
Where are the most likely spots that a leak would have developed in the off season?
Maybe add a few inches and see what happens?
