Hi all, so we have a new salt in-ground steel-wall grouted bottom pool. The liner was installed this past spring. We’re located near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
I took a corner of the safety cover off 2.5 weeks ago to check things out. Water had dropped about 12” below the returns where it was drained for the pool closing about 3.5 weeks prior to that. Fast forward to today and it has dropped another 5”. It has slowed down last couple of days so I’m hoping I can find the leak soon at or just below the current water level, but I’m not sure.
Being a new pool owner, I would be grateful for any tips on what to do next!
I’ve called and talked to my PB several times. They checked it out once and couldn’t find a leak so want to let the water keep dropping so they know at what level the leak is.
Temps are dropping and we’re getting ice forming on top now. We’re lucky that we don’t have a high water table here so the pool “shouldn’t” float in the spring, but I’m a bit concerned with what will happen when the frost comes out of the ground. Is there also a concern with the surrounding soils wanting to push in the walls without the water pushing back?
Your advice on what to do next is very welcome!! Next 10 days: highs 28-38F, lows 12-24F.
