    It sounds to me like two things are happening. First the water or ice on top of the winter cover is actually pushing water out of the pool. Second ground water is infilrating when the water level has dropped and has lifted the liner. You should probably be ok as long as you put the liner back before adding water.

    To prevent this from happening keep a cover pump on the winter cover and pump water off of it when you see it accumulating.

    No ice,, and a pump stays on the cover as long as the temperature is above freezing. It was from the 6 to 7 inchs of rain we got a couple of weeks ago in a short span. I had the pool company come out and put the liner back in and put in the liner lock and also plumb in the french drain ( which they should have done in the first place). Then 4 days after they finished we got another 5 to 6 inchs of rain in 24 hours with 4 of it in one night. It floated the liner up with big bubbles but it stayed locked in the track. I have pumped what looks like at least hundreds if not thousands of gallons of water from under the liner. It is so filthy I can't see the bottom to know if I have it all out but am now running the filter non-stop. Any ideas on how to speed up the cleaning without pumping out the water. I am on well water and that is my last option. Thanks for all the advice.
