    Default Question about the size of a leak

    I have been searching for a small leak in my AGP since i opened if for the season. It is a 15x24 oval and i was losing about 1"- 1 1/2" over the course of a week. I found a small leak today, basically a pinhole. My question for the experts, is, could a leak that small caused my water loss? Or should i be looking for something else.

    Thanks

    A small pinhole could easily cause your water drop. That's only around 300 gallons or less....rough estimate. Curious how you found it.

    I was going to go around the bottom of the pool and work my way towards the middle with the mask. I was looking real close to any where the liner had a little give, figuring it could be from the sand washing away. I found one small section where there was a black dot in my first time around at the base of the wall . When i pushed on the liner the dot changed to white. The liner was a bit off the cove and when i pushed it to the wall i could see the white of the wall inside.
