I’m truly at a loss. I have a 24ft round 52 inch high above ground pool. I’ve been battling an issue with significant water loss only over the winter months for the last 5 or 6 years. Never an issue during summer, other than popping the hose in occasionally to bring it up an inch or two due to loss from heat, sun, splashing, etc.
Spring of 2021, had a brand new liner put in and foam on the walls behind the liner. Still lost large amount of water over the winter.
This year I switched up the cover and went with an Eliminator Xtreme. Kind of a hybrid between mesh and winter. It has three mesh strips in the center. All seemed to be going wall. Cover would seem to drop a little bit at times. But when it rained, it would raise back up to a good level. Haven’t had to use the cover pump once.
It all went to heck yesterday. Looked fine and then we got snow yesterday. I’m In Massachusetts and my area got maybe 3-4 inches. Checked the pool this morning and cover had gone done extremely low. Got the flashlight out after work and had a peek. Looks like less than 18 inches of water in the pool (what remains is not frozen). So in went the hose and I’ll spend tonight and part of tomorrow getting the water back up.
Can I really be losing this much water to displacement? I’m at a loss, to the point I’m really considering tearing it down and getting a new pool.
It’s hard to tell from the picture, but it’s really low.
