Hi,
I have and 11 y.o. inground salt water pool. I had a leak, tear in deep end a couple of months ago. Water was going down about 3" a day. My pool company couldn't come right away, so after a few days, I ended up finding the hole and patching it myself. Everything seemed fine then, last Wednesday it started leaking again, the patch had come loose. I cut a larger patch and when attempting to put it on, my hand went thru the vinyl liner. There was nothing behind it! (My pool has a vermiculite bottom.) My pool company had someone come and cut the liner and I had a huge hole in the bottom corner! They say it can be fixed by filling with rock and criss crossing rebar, then concrete, then redoing the vermiculite and a new liner of course. Does this sound like a reasonable solution? I want to feel safe in my pool after it is fixed. During original construction, there was a hugh limstone rock that they had to chisel down, on the side, close to the affected area. I feel like this may of had something to do with the wall collapse but not sure. Any suggestions welcome.
