Took cover off and discovered the liner floating up. Checked the sump pit and it was working properly.
Decided to pull the liner off it's tracks a little to drain behind the liner with a transfer pump. Noticed the pool water in the liner start lowering too. Panicked and stopped the pump then re filled the water to the middle of skimmers.
Placed some blue masking tape at the water level and let it sit. Water level decreased just under an inch in 24hrs. Can't see any obvious tear. The water is green from winter.
Tossed a lot of bleach in it and ran 24 hours still cloudy but shallow end looks good. Water level fell below skimmer level so cycled the pool with drain only for another 24 hours. Water level didn't move much after that from the blue masking tape mark but the liner did float back up in the mean time.
Don't see a tear at the current water level and more or less pool appears to stopped losing water at a level about two inches under skimmer. Water did not change much with floor drain only running. Safe to say my leak is in the skimmer or plumbing to the pump itself?
As it stands pool still green with liner floating. Should I just pay for a leak test at the two skimmers? Would a leaking skimmer cause the liner to float?
2 quotes for liner replacement. One at 6.3k and the other 7k over the phone. Pool is 20x40, 2 skimmers 1 floor drain and 2 return jets.
Or should I just go ahead and pump all the water out from behind the liner and refill?
