OK so here's the scoop.
A couple of years ago our automatic vaccum "hung up" on one of the support trusses and rubbed 2 holes the size of pencil erasers. Of course this happened in october just before we closed the pool. my husband donned a dive suit and patched the holes. All has been well until last week, when we noticed the water level was dropping and there was water coming out from beneath the pool. So my DH did the leak test with colored water determined it was from the old patch. he then trimmed the old patch and applied a new patch over the old.
Today, there is water coming from under the pool AGAIN!!!! ARGH :? DH has given up and told me to find a repair man. Anyone recommend an above ground service man in the Richmond/Charlottesville VA area??????

He did a good job, first time 'round and shouldn't be discouraged by this attempt!
