I have one a those pools with the blow up ring on top and when you fill it with water the ring rises. Well it got a hole somewhere any ideas on how to find the leak ?

the leak is in the liner not the blow up ring

Just for clarification: this is NOT a doughboy pool! Now to answer your question. If the hole is in the sidewall you should be able to see water oozing out from the outside. That leaves a possible hole in the floor. Very carefully walk around feeling with your feet for any "mushy" spots. The ground should be wet and soft immediately around the leak. Once you've located the leak simply apply a vinyl patch. You might feel a rock in that area. They will sometimes punch a hole in a pool.

paint around the ring with bubbles (or soap solution) the leaking air will blow a bubble and you'll be able to identify where the hole is. It worked for me and I have the same type of pool.

using a turkey baster fill with water add a drop of food coloring,shake,now go aroung the pool looking for possible holes,a pair of goggles will help as some holes can be very small,when you find a suspected leak quirt with colored water,you will be able to see the colored water get sucked into the hole.patch with vinyl patch kit.good luck

Pump it up a bit more than usually and walk around with a watering can - if the surface is wet you might see some bubbles somewhere. Or you simply walk around with your ear directly on the surface.
