bumping this thread...

I've got an above ground pool. Before the winter set in I drained water to just below the lower lip of the skimmer. Looking under the cover now in the spring the level is much lower than when I put the cover on...say 12 inches lower or so. I'm filling now with hose water but I'm worried about the water level drop. I did peek my head under a few times during the winter and was suprised at the warmth of the space under the cover. Could the water have evaporated that much. There is no sign of water pooling outside the pool but maybe it's leaking into the sand underneath the liner?

Anyways I'll monitor the level closely going forward but I wanted to throw this out there to the people with more experience than I. This is my second season opening the pool.

Thanks.
