First, eliminate obvious and visible leaks. Check for evidence of leakage or moisture. Check all fittings that go into or out of the pool pump, filter, or heater. Check for leaky pump lids, leaky valves, or leaky seals. Also check to make sure that your multi-port valve is not leaking water to the waste line. If it's possible to see where this backwash line empties, check to make sure that you don't see water flowing or dripping from here.

We are in the process of doing jsut that. We are replacing the liner and bottom of pool. We have the vermiculite bottom.
