It is mostly just leaning away from the walls, with one wrinkle angled towards the steps in the shallow end. I dont think it will be to hard to get it back in place. My big concern is if i leave it like it is for the winter, will it do more damage from the water soaking into the walls and floor...

My pool has been leaking pretty bad. I let the CYA get above 100 back in July due to my laziness, then the vari-flow valve gasket blew out twice, the second time only a week after replacing it, so I replaced the whole valve hoping to fix the leak, but it did not fix the leak. I have been...

Correction, the R-013 has been used-up and replaced at least once, so I should not have listed it as suspect I guess. The R-870 does not seem to disseminate or disperse evenly, clinging to itself in a ribbon appearance, I think I'll replace it... Does anyone have phone number or contact info...

I bought a tftestkit in 09, this is the third season I have had it. I was testing my water today and it seems like the chemicals are not reacting they way I remember they did last year. Do any of the chemicals in this kit go stale after a couple years? R-870, R-871 and R-013 are the one I'm...

I agree, great camera work! Every digital camera I have ever used has a delay, making it very hard to get a good action shot. Oh yeah, nice looking Labs!

It's a beautifull Saturday morning here in NC. Its gonna be in the low 90's today, the swimming pool will be working overtime. My pool has not leaked since I replaced the gaskets at the return jet, making me a happy camper... If this repair ever leaks again, I'm pretty sure I will drop the...

The fix is holding water, with no loss overnight... Wha are the procedures to drop the liner in one corner? Thanks!

Well, I cleaned it up and put it back together with a couple new gaskets and some marine grade caulk. This morning the rapair looked like it might work so I turned on the water, and started filling the pool. Today after work the water level is above the return outlets, so I did a dye test to...

I guess its hard to tell in the pictures, but the poolwall is missing, deteriorated and gone in some areas... If its a steel wall pool, I dont see any steel or rust...

I'm not sure what it is, when the light is on at night the trowel pattern is visible, so something was spread with a trowel. Whatever the composition is, it's crumbling, I don’t think its concrete...

I just took the ring off, the pool wall is deteriorated and missing in some areas. Check the pictures. In the picture with the ring still attached I have a white arrow pointing the direction the dye was going as it exited. Is there an adhesive that O can use to build up the area that is missing...

I drained it down 2" below returns yesterday, I'll take the fitting off today, and go from there. Good thing is I have zero leakage at the lower level, so know I know the light and bottom drain system is not leaking. Thanks!

If I remove the four screws, will the fitting come off, so I can replace the gasket, without having access to the back side of the pool wall? What kind of sealant should I use to seal this gasket to the liner? What is the composition of the pool wall on a liner type pool like mine? It looks...

LATEST UPDATE...From inside the pool with a swim mask on, using food dye, I can see the dye escaping between the gasket and the pool liner at the 6 oclock position, of the return jet pictured. The pool surface near this fitting is not real flat and consistant. It looks like the fitting is...

Has anyone ever tried http://www.fixaleak.com/main.html, it sound too good to be true...

Okay, let me back up far enough to summarize what’s going on with my pool. Back in May I started bringing this pool out of a 2+ year inactive period. I bought the house in Feb and the pool had been covered for the previous 2 years because the house was vacant. In May with help from this site...

It leaks worse when the pump is running, If I turn the pump off, it leaks slower, but it still leaks, the dye test proved it to me today.

OK, the dye test confirms water is exiting the pool, into this return line(with pump off), I'm cutting concrete...

OK, tomorrow I'll remove the directional ball fitting. Turn the pump off and insert some die into the fitting to see if the die dissappears into the leak. I was thinking about drilling a hole through the concrete just above this fitting. If water comes out or the dirt is real wet (muddy), than...

I read pool school. It does not leak without the pump running, this tells me its leaking from a line, not the liner. The gurgling noise seems like a smoking gun to me. The wrinkle develops at the same place the gurgling is heard, more smoke. How do I do a presure check of this suspected line?

My pool has a leak, it is only leaking when the pump is running. If I let it run over night it will loose about an inch of water, vise 1/8 inch without the pump running. I replaced the valve gasket and tension spring hoping I was loosing water into the waste line, unfortunately I am still...
