Patched leak is still leaking

[AngelaKelly]

Our pool leaked for the second winter in a row, we opened and were still losing water, so we had divers come. They found a small leak by the stairs and patched it up. We are still losing water! Last night it was right above the arrow on the skimmers and this morning it is right below them so I’m assuming about an inch overnight.

The divers are going to come back out to check again.

We also have a lot of dirt on the bottom of the pool which they said could be from the rip. After it was patched, dirt kept coming in.

I’ve attached pictures from opening and after the rip was patched for reference.

Any thoughts? Could it be another liner tear or something bigger (i.e. in the pipes)?

Thanks for your help!

Most likely liner tears. Pipe problems will not lose water down that low.

How old is the liner?

Liner is 10 years old. The divers thought it was only 4-5 years old. Upon coming back, they found another small tear by the light which they patched. I’m hopeful this solves the issue but now we wait.

Still leaking this morning and not sure if it means anything but this was in our pump basket. Not sure where this O Ring came from?

The divers are coming back today to dye test the returns.

Any additional thoughts?
