Hi everyone. Last summer, I spent days trying to find the slow leak in our vinyl liner with dye, a syringe, a weight belt, a mask, and a snorkel- and no luck. It's not a hose or connection point. Over the winter, the pool water level dropped to about half-full, and it's now hanging steady. The liner hasn't even had 2 full seasons yet, we installed in July 2023. I just got a quote from a local company for leak detection/repair, and it came in at $500. Do we pay the $500 or just spring for a new liner?
Pay for professional leak detect or get new liner?

If the water level stopped at half full then it’s likely the leak is right at or just above the water level. Might have a close look there before spending any money.
With an above ground pool the new liner probably costs less than the leak detection. But that doesn't install the liner, so there is that too.
Examine the waterline closely and you will probably find a pinhole.
