Hey guys,
So we've been using BBB for a number of years now and it's been great. However, we have a vinyl liner out of ground pool and the new liner was just installed like 2 years ago. Today, i'm seeing what i'm sure is a leak right at the bottom of the pool (sand run off) where i usually put the chrorine (chlorox) in right at the base of the return. Considering no one has been the in pool at all recently the only logical conclusion I can come to (assuming there is a indeed a leak) is that this is a direct result of pouring in the chlorox too fast and maybe extra amount of chlorine touch the bottom of the pool and eat away at the liner? anyone agree/disagree with this. Any other possibilities. At 6:00pm tonight i measured the drops of water i could see where the sand runoff is and it's about 86 drops per minute. Also, in the case where people do this (have their liners eaten away by chlorine) at the base of the return...is it actually worse than a specific hole in the liner because the damage is so spread out. Can people patch these things well or is it likely to be a money pit vs. getting a new liner. ugh. help. Thanks
Scott
