Pool has been running for about 6 weeks. About 2 weeks ago pool started losing more water each day (one day lost a full inch). Finally pool company came out and I am losing about 1 inch per day and a half (with equipment off). I have never been in the pool and the only activity has been robot cleaning pool (Maytronics Dolphin M4), me sweeping when we had algae and using net to get stuff out of pool. They want to drain the pool today and crawl under liner to find the hole.
A few questions:
1. Will pool being empty for a day hurt the liner (assuming small hole and they can patch and refill)?
2. Could my robot have caused a problem this early? (I have checked it out and no sharp spots or stuff stuck in treads)
3. What else could have caused a leak that appears to be getting worse? Pool guy thought maybe a seam issue that was tiny at first but now bigger.
If they have to replace liner we will not be able to do until after winter (Kansas) due to lead time and needing to winterize equipment.
Any thoughts from experienced people? This has been an extremely frustrating process between flooding during each phase of construction, missing pump leading to yellow algae and how an apparent leak
