Hello all,
Just bought a home and my first pool. Dealing with the nightmares I did not want with a pool . So couple weeks in we noticed the pool was losing too much water. We found a leak behind the light fixture 400 bucks later thats fixed we hope. Then I have been trying to get my super vac working that the previous owner left in a bin. Got it working but then noticed a dime size hole in the liner. Looked at the vac head and it has white bristles on it but didnt see anything really sticking out that is sharp other than the bristles themselves and it was sucking pretty hard to the pool as I dragged it with the pole along the bottom. I patched that up then tried again running the vac and I dont know if by coincidence I found another small puncture to the liner. Can a vac cause this or is it possible they existed as small holes and they got bigger. Suffice to say I bought a new vac head. Now have 5 patches in the pool 2 existed and 3 new actually 2 puncture holes patches this morning as I took many deep breathes and a small one I also noticed. Thanks for any advice. Think a new liner is in my future next season but the nightmare I imagined is coming true lol.
