Last year when we opened the pool there was a ton of leaves in the pool. I see them in there again now. Is this normal? Or do. I need a new one? It looks sealed Tight so not sure where they get in from

The leaves are from the strong winds and coming from outside to underneath. You could use water bags all the way around and this would solve your issue, but an expensive one and time consuming. If the leaves do not create any type of stains, then I would just let it go through the winter and clean in the spring as there should be a minimal amount of leaves that enter the pool.
 
I've had some leaves in the pool come spring each year from under my safety cover. They have never created any stains for me.
 
Tanin stains from leaves getting under a winter cover will usually disappear after a while when the pool is opened and the chlorine level is raised.
