    Default Re: Pool leak question

    If it's a plumbing leak, there is no danger at all in closing the pool.

    If it's a liner leak, you may well regret closing the pool before solving the issue - in the best case, you'd need to replace the liner, in the worst (though unlikely) you could end up with wall issues, come next spring.

    I would do the bucket test, combined with a vessel test to see where the issue is before closing.

    If you need help on performing these tests, just give a holler

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
