It's been 4 days and I've had almost no noticeable water loss. We've had all hot sunny days so I'm sure a little has evaporated but I have not had to add any water. I had the leak detection company out today. They plugged the skimmer and tested with air from the line at the valve. It held...

Quick update... I tried to dye test for the leak around the light and could not find it so I called the leak detection company back. He found another tear in the liner at the light. This time he got in and applied patches to it and it's no longer leaking. He tested the entire liner and found...

He made it sound like it was the screw hole that was leaking. He said that was the only leak he found. He told me that the patch he put on probably wouldn't work since the water was so cold at the time. This was in March in New Jersey and it was still pretty cold out. Thanks for the video...

Leak guy told me it was the actual screw hole that was leaking. I’m pretty sure that patch is going behind the ring. This was from his report.. “An electronic leak detection was performed on the pool. A scan of the vinyl liner revealed a tear in the screw holes under the pool light. A...

The arrow is pointing to the screw hole in the attached image. The patch the leak guy attempted is next to it Sean

Looking for some advice. I had a problem last summer with a leak. I had a leak detection company come out in March before I opened the pool. He found the leak in one of the screw holes for the light. It’s a wet niche light. He tried to patch it but told me it probably wouldn’t work because...

Started filling it, but it's so discolored, shrunken and has so many wrinkles in it we decided to replace it. Turns out I got this liner 7 years ago. I've had problem with it since I got it. The pool is not perfectly symertrical and the installer only measured the corners on one side. I...

It doesn't look good. The shallow end seems pretty brittle. I've got a few hoses in now to fill it. I've got one with warmer water in the shallow end. I guess all I can do now is wait.

Thanks Jason. That's my plan this weekend. Unfortunately we've had non stop rain for the past day. Hopefully it clears up by tomorrow so I can get the cover off. Sean

Looking for some advice here. I have a 26,000 gallon in ground vinyl liner pool. I'm located in NJ. I closed the pool in September and lowered the water just below the skimmers. I noticed in the last snow/ice storm we had a little while back that my solid cover was sagging way more than I've...

This is my third season with FiberClear and I'm quite happy with it. My biggest reasons for switching were handling of DE and not having to worry about backwashing onto my lawn. It works at least as good as DE for me. I haven't changed anything else in my BBB routine. Sean

I ordered one today from PoolSupplySales.com for $389 plus the $100 rebate. Thanks for the tip rv4hess! :whoot: If it will get the junk off the bottom of the pool now that I have to use the manual vacuum for I will be thrilled. Sean

I have a floating skimmer now that runs off one of the returns. It's been that way since I've had it for 5 years as the built in skimmer has not worked since I've had the pool. I'm still losing water, but not at the rate I was before they plugged the drain. Guess I'll just keep and eye on it...
