What kind of liner do i have?

Mine is definitely more like the bottom pic. There is no little lip to catch the bead like in the second picture.

I found the pool installation manual and it show two options to install the liner. Overlapped like i have it, and also with the white part that over hangs my wall in the bottom of the J in the receiver.


I also cleaned up the water and am going to try to find the leak one more time.

When i pulled the cover out last month i marked the water level, that is where it basically was for the prior 2 months. i Added 4 inches of water and marked that level as well. With in a week the level had dropped 3 inches and was an inch above the original mark. It has not moved from that mark in 2 weeks.

BK’s liner is a J-hook. It is installed under the bead receiver. It hooks over the wall and the receiver is just used as a stabilizer rod. See the original pictures, they show that well. A j-hook liner should be able to be used on any pool.

In my previous post I was just showing the receiver that BK had over the j-hook liner (first picture) and comparing that with two store images of bead receivers. I was just trying to show that I think this pool would accept a j-hook or a beaded liner.

BK, if your instructions are showing the liner hung either way then that confirms they are bead receivers. That is all I was trying to show with my pictures.

For the same liner to fit either way it would have to be a uni bead. The two beads are different, a j-hook will not fit into a beaded slot and stay. It can however be on the same liner as a regular bead, giving an either or option.

Sorry if I confused anyone, Dennis

OK, because your cover likely had water on it, it dispersed the water under it (pushed it up some) so it ran out the hole because of the "apparently higher" water level, thus the 1" difference between your opening and after filling.
3 inches in a week should be a relatively easy hole to find, it might look like a fingernail dent (half moon) - many turn out like that.
Also, look at that approximate level around the outside of the wall, you may have a small localized dent protruding from the wall where the cut might be if something hit it from the inside.
