Pool Leak

[gio5]

I suspected a leak all last season, but now that the pool is closed I definitely have a leak. My pool has lost water down to only about a foot of water in the pool since it was closed. So does it mean it's the liner, since everything is plugged and closed?

So sad that the liner only got 6 seasons.

That's a strong possibility. Do you have a main drain? Drains can be troublesome. If not, the liner may be the culprit.

Yes, I do have a main drain, so the dye test would be the best way to determine if that is where the leak is?

The dye test is one (DIY) way. Leak companies have other methods to check for leaks, especially if they wish to rule-out plumbing. Since you have a drain, it would be important to determine if the leak is from the drain plumbing itself, or perhaps related to a hydrostatic valve in the drain. So there are a few possibilities.
