Ground Water Leaking In Cover Track Slot

[treyrich]

Our pool is now 2 years old and we’re getting quite a bit of build up in one corner. Best I can tell we have a very small amount of ground water that’s running into the pool from this corner and causing a lot of scale to build up above the water line. The issue is that’s it’s not waterproofed/tiled here because it’s where the track for the cover is built in.

I’m looking for suggestions on how to handle this long term, is there something to prevent the water from leaking in? Or do I just need to manage the scale and deal with it?

Not much you can do inside the pool other than clean it up.

You can try and remediate the water from outside the pool with some drainage.

Dang, was hoping for some magic solution like fill the hole with some calking or something haha. The drainage is really quite good, there's just those small planters around the fence that you can see in the photo, and we live in an extremely dry climate so I'm not sure what else to do on that front. I guess I'll just have to figure out a good routine to stay on top of this.
