A few weeks, maybe a month ago, we noticed significant water loss (about an inch a day) and by using some food coloring I was able to identify a pinhole leak near the edge of the floor. At that point the water was already too cold to dive or even swim in, so I figured out what I thought was a clever solution - stick the prepared patch on the end of a pole and gently but swiftly administer it to the bottom.
Well, now I have probably one of the worst case scenarios; a frigid pool that's only going to get colder which still leaks through a very firmly glued patch.
Soooo what do I do now? Keep patching til it seals? Invest in a wet suit? See if I can find a diver to come over and do it more or less properly? Wait for the water to drain out completely and redo it myself, then refill the pool just to close it? Right now we're keeping the water topped up but soon that's not going to be viable anymore.
Thanks in advance!
