This is a 20+ year old pool that was installed by the previous owner. I have owned it for 11 years. Bottom of pool looks to be pool-krete while the walls are steel, I believe.
Liner and pool lights are both leaking. I had an electrician who specializes in pools assess the situation yesterday--and he informed me that fixing or replacing the lights would be cost-prohibitive (would require us to break open the concrete to understand how the lighting system was wired up). He suggested there is not a quick fix for the leakage that is occurring from the lights.
At this point in time--I am getting ready to sign a contract with the local Pool company to replace the liner, heater, pump, and pool cover. I am uncertain if we will need to cover the lights or if I can possibly get one of them working. However, bottom line, is the pool will be empty for a while until we can get the installation moving. I expect it won't be until the end of May--at the earliest.
The pool company suggests I completetly drain the pool until then. They told me this will not be an issue--however, this is different than I have learned / been led to believe in the past.
Any advice from the experienced pool owners in this forum?
