Well, I thought I had patched the leak(s) prior to closing the pool last fall, but today I noticed a drip-drip-drip coming from the inside of the pool wall, about 1 foot from where I had patched a hole. There's nothing I can do about it right now because of all the ice on top of and under the cover.
How many leaks does one need to have before they give up and put in a new liner? Each year since I've lived here I've gotten more and more indentations in the floor, and had a groundhog dig a tunnel under the pool last year. Have patched multiple holes in the liner where - for some reason - the liner has pressed against the bolt heads that join the two ends of the wall. Shouldn't there be something to protect the liner from those bolts?
Maybe I'm just venting with this post. I love having a pool, but am getting tired of these issues. The previous owners seemed like DIY-ers who did everything as quickly and cheaply as possible, so I don't know how much I even trust this liner install. They had to have the liner replaced just before we bought the house a few years ago.
