    What to do if your pool is leaking and it's winter time?
    My pool is leaking from some leaks that were repaired in the summer but were opened again because the liner is being stretched by ice-snow. It seemes like it might collapse. Should we cut off the liner or what? Please reply soon.

    Drain it almost completely empty leaving at least 2-3 inches of water in the bottom and wait until it is time to open the pool and either replace the liner as a whole if you can afford it or reinforce the braces and fix the leaks in the liner, trying to patch the leaks now wouldn't do any good because it should be warm in order to apply the patch. If the holes are bigger than 1/2 inch in diameter or longer than 1-2 inches I suggest replacing the liner in the spring time but for now drain as I told you should.
