Move from here: pool loses water every winter

Just curious if you ever resolved your water loss issue? I have the same exact problem! The first year we had our in-ground, I don't recall losing much, if any, water over the winter. Last year, we lost quite a bit of water, probably half, but it was fine during the swim season. This winter, since October, we have lost all but about 1 ft. The cover has now fallen into the pool and is frozen in place. We've not had any leak issues, no drains near the bottom, so we are puzzled.

Welcome to TFP! :wave: Sounds like you've definitely lost more water than you should. Unless you have a cover pump continually pulling water off the cover (and possibly from underneath), there may be a leak. But before we assume the worse, let's get more details.

- Please update your signature will all of your pool & equipment info
- Pool is still closed/winterized correct? Who did it?
- Be sure to note if you have a main drain

Pools should not be left with low amounts of water for fear that the ground's water table may rise and disrupt the shell's foundation or wall stability. If your pool is vinyl lined, that could be an issue as well. So this is certainly something you'll want to watch closely. Below are some links to get started while we watch fro more info from you. Keep in touch!
