    Sorry for the delay! (my computer is acting up this week )

    I don't think you have a leak

    Your solid cover will accumulate water/ snow/ ice over the winter and displace pool water. Add to that the fact that water expands when it freezes and it's reasonable to expect a 4" loss in the spring. Also - if you have a hole in the solid cover, you'll be draining the pool when you pump the water off of the cover.

    Enjoy your pool!

    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
