How to find a hole in the liner?

[aylad]

Ralph,

This sticky is meant for how to find holes in the liner. You have a specific situation that you need advice for...therefore, I've split this post off into its own thread in this forum, here http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...eplace-skimmer. For those offering advice, please reply to the new thread.

Thanks!!

I swim around with goggles and look, I have found everyone of my holes.

Just reading around with the dye method. So I'm clear, the pump will be off, and the water as calm as possible. Do I have to walk around and drip the dye in, looking for it to be sucked out, or do I put the dye in and look for it to settle out?

Unless your leak is HUGE, you have to have the tip of the dye emitter (can be a bottle of phenol red) within 1/4" or less of the suspected leak location. I'm posting two short movies of me leak-testing a commercial kiddie pool. They illustrate (a) how to do it and (b) a NEGATIVE (no leak) result. I have to do some minimal editing on the POSITIVE test result before I can post it. I'll put the links in the following post, once YouTube has them live.
