Yes, most pool leaks can be fixed permanently. Minor leaks in vinyl liners, plaster surfaces, and equipment connections can often be repaired with underwater patches, sealants, or equipment replacement.
Whether you need to cover your pool pump in winter depends on your climate and pump type. In freezing climates, always use a breathable cover after proper winterization. In mild climates, covering is optional but recommended for protection.
Yes, pools can leak through concrete when it develops cracks, becomes porous over time, or has structural joint failures. The concrete shell itself can allow water to seep through, especially in older pools or those with poor initial construction.
Not all pools need liners. Above-ground pools and vinyl inground pools require liners, while concrete, fiberglass, and natural pools typically don't need traditional vinyl liners.
Most inground pools don't need liners - concrete/gunite and fiberglass pools have built-in surfaces. Only vinyl inground pools require liners, which need replacement every 8-12 years.
Concrete pools do not need liners like vinyl pools, but they require a waterproof finish such as plaster, aggregate, or tile to prevent water loss and provide a smooth swimming surface.
Not all pools need liners - it depends on your pool type. Above-ground pools require vinyl liners for waterproofing, while concrete pools use plaster finishes instead of traditional liners.
