Loss of grout is the biggest contributor to waterline tile delamination. Particularly just under the pool coping. Whole sections are bound to fall off as water will get in behind the tiles and in colder weather, the freeze/thaw effect will pop those tiles right off.

Message AquaDECK for waterline tile restoration, repair, and installation.

Has anyone taken a look under your pool cover yet? If you have then you might be wondering...

Why does my pool lose water in the winter?

When you open your pool in the spring after being closed for the winter it is very important to note the height of the water in your pool. This is your first, and sometimes your only visual symptom that you may have a problem. A leaking pool is never a good thing. A leaking pool in the winter can be a real disaster if you live in a cold climate area which we most certainly do.
There could be a lot of reasons to be asking "why does my pool lose water in the winter?" and as much as it might seem counterintuitive, it is technically possible to lose water in the winter when the pool is closed, but not really as much when the pool is open and operating.

The first point to understand here is that pool leaks can be very elusive. The rate of water loss can increase, slow down and even periodically stop depending on environmental conditions. In a situation where your pool loses water more in the winter than the summer this could be due to a crack in a suction line. When the pool is running and the pump is sucking the crack does not really leak water out so much as it just allows air to pull in. Once the pump is disconnected for the winter the water can now more readily escape the crack. It could also be that saturated ground conditions from water tables or persistent leaks slow active leaks in the pool, but during the winter the water table exposes the leak location which increases the rate of water loss. It could be that you have an automatic fill valve on your pool that gets turned off in the winter and as a result you notice a leak which is actually always there.

Despite the possible, but less common causes for your pool losing water in the winter, by far the most common answer to this question is simply that the pool loses water in the summer also, and you either simply did not notice before how much water you were losing, or the leak is new. In either case if you open your pool for the spring and the water level is lower than where it should be, you very likely have a leak on your hands. So just how high is the water level in your pool supposed to be anyway? That would depend on the type of cover system that you use.
I'll address that in the coming days.

Happy Easter from AquaDECK.
