    Pool leaks in winter
    I live in New Jersey, I have a slow leak in a above grown 4 foot high pool. The water level is 2 feet down, I loosened up the cover to protect the walls. I closed the pool up in Sept.. If the water level does not drop, can I assume that the leak is in the wall? How can I find the leak? Should I refill the pool with water and recover it or just leave it until SPRING? I head of a product stop leak does it work? What should I do

    You are supposed to lower the water level to below the skimmer in the winter. We float a air pillow in the middle and then cover until spring. Does this happen every year in the winter or just this once? New Jersey is about as bad as Chicago, don't bother any repair until spring
