Often, the hole can be found by looking carefully at the water outside the pool. Normally, if you can see water outside, the hole is big enough to be found visually. Locate the general area, and try to pinpoint it by looking at the water coming out around the bottome rail. If you can't see the bottom rail due to dirt, grass, or rocks / flowers, you may have to dig out in the wet spot. With goggle inside the pool, and by analyzing spots where it looks like the water is coming from (keep in mind that water will often run along the bottom rails and come out at the legs), you can usually find the leak visually (a hole or a tear, possibly a splitting seam?).
You might also try a small squeeze bottle of food coloring, or a handful of clayey dirt to dissolve in the water near the leak and watch it's action.
Of course, you can also call a professional leak detector.

∙ 16y agoAre there any visual signs of water around the perimeter of the pool or pool equipment? You may be able to find a possible leak using the red test solution applied at or very near areas that have the appearance of abrasions or scratches. This method requires very still water in order to visually see if the dye is being sucked through a hole.

∙ 14y agoFood coloring works best. I f you have an idea of where the leak is use some food coloring, near the suspected area, and watch if it is pulled out.

How can a small broken section of coping track which holds the pool liner be repaired or replaced?
inyopools carries the coping for the tops of the above ground liners really reseanable price.
Do i need to remove all small wrinkles in a above ground pool?
If you can see them when its dry, you will see them when its full. Put a shop vac into the hole for the return(where the water goes back in). It will pull the liner tight to the walls and floor.
Do rocks with small crytals form underground or above ground?
Rocks with small crystals form above ground, because when formed under ground the magma makes the rock cool slower causing more time for the crystals to grow. Above ground the rock cools faster, because the air isn't as hot under ground than above ground.

How do you repair a small fist-sized sink hole that is forming under the liner of an above-ground 24-foot pool if the liner is beginning to get sucked into the hole?
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AN INGROND VINAL LINED POLL. A SINK HOLE FORMED RIGHT UNDER A SMALL CUT IN THE LINNER, THE ONLY SOLUTION I CAN THINK OF IS TO MAKE THE HOLE JUST BIG ENOUGH TO FILL WITH POTLAND CEMENT AND THEN REAIR THE DAMAGE. IF THAT DOEN'T WORK I SURE ITS GOING TO COST A GOOD BIT TO HAVE THE LINER CHANGED AND THE HOLE REPAIRED.
What causes wrinkles in a pool liner?
I'm assuming that you have an inground vinyl lined pool. This is a chronic problem with inground vinyl lined pools, and is due to ground water being higher than the level of the water in your pool. The pressure of the ground water is greater than the pressure exerted by your pool water, and the liner floats. A half baked solution, is to wait until the ground is no longer saturated before removing water. The real solution is to provide a way for the ground water underneath your liner to be removed. This can be a passive system with a small pipe going under your liner and allowing the ground water to drain off (but this only works if you can keep all parts of that pipe below the level of the water in the pool-which depends completely on the pitch of the ground in your yard), or an active pumping system which pumps the ground water out to a drain.
Can hail damage a pool liner?
Yes they can. We just had a freak storm here in Perth with hailstones the size of golf balls. There are about a dozen circular punctures to the liner just above the water line on a small section - ouch!
When melted rock cools above ground it has no or very small what?
Mineral crystals.
When installing an above ground pool how do you get out of the middle after levelling the sand and cove the same thing then applies after you install the liner you are stuck in the pool?
we had to put a ladder (a very small one) inside the pool and a larger one outside the pool. we have built twice this summer and did that way both times.
A large dog and a small dog are sitting at the same height above the ground Which dog has greater potential energy?
The small dog!
Can you use decomposed granite under an above ground pool?
The base of choice for above ground pools is usually sand. This is because the lining of the pool can be cut by other materials. Decomposed granite has a lot of small, sharp edges and corners on the pieces, and these might injure those using the pool, and eventually cut through the liner. There are a number of online sites with information on the installation of above ground pools. Also, there are some companies that install these units, and they can give provide information. Certainly the pool comes with instructions, or, lacking the instructions, the manufacturer will be able to supply them along with other information you might need.
How much evaporation is normal during sunny week for above ground pool that is 4' deep and loses NO water due to splashing?
We are losing about 1 inch per day in ours, but the temp is around 90 I think an inch a week is more normal. At an inch a day there may be a small leak in the liner
