So i went under my pool deck to retrieve my son's water gun and I found this happening.
Oddly enough when i went back about an hour later the water had stopped coming out of that particular hole, but I then found another one just the same that is still going strong. So we bought an under water patch kit but for the life of me I CANNOT find this hole when i am actually in the pool with goggles on. I see no hole. Just an old wrinkly liner that needs replacing. I tried food coloring in a syringe but that got me nowhere. How am i supposed to find this hole?? And how did the other one just stop leaking?
The second part of my question is that I notice that there are a ton of these little pinholes throughout the entire metal frame of the pool. But i only see water coming out of one of them at the moment. My husband has repaired previous holes throughout the years, but this is the first time we saw a leak through one of them. We were planning on replacing the liner at the end of this season anyway, but my concern is, if i put a new liner in, will the same thing happen to it? I'm assuming the hole in the metal tore the vinyl. If we miss any of the pin holes this could happen again, no? The pool is over 20 years old at this point. How do we know when we have to cut our losses and say bye bye to it? How many pinholes are too many pinholes? :--(
