Plus i wanted a cascading waterfall feature spilling water into the pool. I also upgrated to steps going down into the pool off of our deck.
From reading a lot about putting up and taking down pools (and experience) the pinholes can come from simply moving the liner around. After the pool has been up a while, the liner often become less flexible/brittle. Also, after a pool has been up, sand can get in the bottom and seal certain tiny holes. When you take it down, fold it, and put it back, the holes become visible. I had this happen. The pool was not leaking but I had to drain it to level and when I put it back up, it leaked a lot. I just threw it away and bought another. Now my motto is, once it is up, I plan to leave it alone! I have a friend who has grass grow up through his liner every year, he just pulls it out and the pool never leaks. If he takes it down and puts it back up, I bet it's going to leak.
