Hi, I'm from Long Island and have a looploc pool cover being replaced this weekend. As of last week, temperatures were freezing and there was even a layer of ice at the top of the pool (seen when the looploc ripped). Over the summer, we struggled with water loss. I called a diving company before closing and they found 4 pin holes that were taken care of and two patches were done. However, between then and closing, I did see more water loss.
Because we closed in October, it was too cold to do any testing further. The pool company replacing my looploc said they could do pressure testing the same day since the cover will be off. I'm a bit concerned that it was iced last week, and am not sure if now would be a good time to get it done? It is much warmer this week, but the weather has been cold then warm then freezing. Would this weather change be a reason to not do pressure testing now and do it when we open in May? My concern would be that even if a leak is found, what if cold weather expands on it etc.
