I'm sure I have a leak in my aboveground vinyl pool liner. Is there any leak detector stuff I can buy?

Answer 1

In an above ground, the best leak dectector is the human eyeball. Look for greener grass or damp areas around the pool perimeter. Failing that, it's time to jump in. Depressions in the bottom, can indicate a leak but not always. It could simply be a foot depression from installation or a good hard jump but it is something to look at. Shut off the circ pump for an hour, jump back in with a bottle of food colouring or preferably and old bottle of phenol red from your test kit ( old bottle because you won't be able to use it to test with after). Give the suspect area a squirt and see if dye is drawn in. Still found nothing? Don't forget to look at the seams. They can split. With patience, if there's a leak, you'll be able to find even a pin hole. I've never missed one yet.

Answer 2

look at my answers i helped a lady with the same problem here, told her feel around for a hump or divot in bottom where the leaking water would cause the sand to move leaving a ring or where the sand was pushed up.......
