I am at a loss on this one... I have a 15', 48" Intex pool that has developed a leak. It leaks very quickly, and I would estimate the entire pool will empty in just 2 days. As the water is completely gone now, I have gone over the floor of the liner on my hands and knees and cannot find any holes. I know the leak has to be either on the floor or on the bottom area of the liner wall. I see no water leaking visibly anywhere on the walls, but I do notice water on the pavers outside the pool. Can anyone provide any advice on the best manner in which to locate the leak? Unfortunately, Intex (yes I know they suck, and I will never purchase one again) does not sell the replacement liner anymore, so I either need to find the leak or trash the pool.

Did it leak all the way down to the floor of the pool? Have you checked the drain plug on the pool? Are the pavers wet all the way around or just in one area?
It leaks all the way out and down to the floor. At one point, it was basically dry inside the liner. We notice water only in a certain part of the pavers, but nothing it obvious in that section of the liner regarding holes or leaks.
Since the pool is empty, you might try raising it up a little on blocks and look underneath to see if there are any pinholes letting light through. If you don't see anything you could try adding about a 1/2 of water and see if you can find where it is leaking while up on blocks. I wouldn't add more water than that, as it could tear the liner. For it to leak so quickly it is either a drain plug issue or multiple leaks.
