Answer 1:
Try to find the area that is most wet from the leak. if it is on the sides it should be easy, but if it is on the bottom, it may be harder... I use the technique of 'Water Balloon'. Put water in it and move it around to find out where the water where come out. After you find this, you can use a tire patch, or, if your pool came with patches, you may use one of those also. Whatever type of patch you use, be sure the area is dry before applying the patch, and be sure to rub it all the way down to avoid air bubbles that may cause the leakage again.
Answer 2:
A professional swimming pool leak detector can use electronic equipment to locate the leak with 100% accuracy.
If you are doing it on your own, it is simply a matter of visual inspection. Look for telltale signs, such as divots in the bottom, though they will not always be present. Check around the bottom of the wall, which is the most common area that gets holes due to cleaning equipment. Also check high traffic areas.

How do you find a hole in an above ground pool?
Depending on how much water you are losing there are a few ways first one is to let the water go down on its own until it stops dropping then your leak should be somewhere within 50-100mm of the waterlinesecondly if you empty the pool then get under the liner and move about the sun will shine through the hole then you can repair it never get under the liner on your own as you can become disorientated quite easily.
Why is the inground pool liner growing I keep the chlorine at and the pH just above In two years the liner has grown at least a foot wrinkling. The ground drops 3 feet off one side of the pool.?
The cause of the wrinkle in the liner has little or nothing to do with the chemicals you add to the pool. The ground below the pool is shifting and will most likely slide. You might want to check the pool for leaks. One sign of a leak on the exterior of a pool would be a very green patch of grass or weeds in the area of the leak.

Can ants eat inground vinyl pool liner and create pinholes?
Yes, definitely. I had to replace the pool liner due to a freeze-induced blowout (in an above-ground pool). When I replaced the liner I used the foam pool coving material, rather than just reshape the sand. The next year, we started having little leak after little leak. Finally, I drained the pool halfway down to try and patch some bigger areas, and when I pulled the liner away from the wall, the pool cove material was riddled with ant tracks around every area that was leaking. I don't know if it was termites from some nearby rotten firewood, or just ants making nests there, but they really trashed that liner.
