Yes sounds like a liner issue. Check around the waterline, or inside the mouth of the skimmer. If the pool has a light it could be the conduit. If...

Leak repairs

by stevem » Mon 02 Oct, 2006 18:56

First post

What's the story on products that claim to fix leaks in pool piping (e.g., Fix A Leak and other similar products)?

Last post

Your best bet is to hire a leak professional to locate & repair the leak. Leak sealer products generally don't work. Save your money.

Last post

Look in the skimmers for cracks in the plastic. Also dye test the light(s). I've stopped many leaks by resealing the light cord with butyl tape.

by sharonjh_78 » Mon 27 Jul, 2009 22:32

First post

Do you have to drain a fibreglass pool to fix a hole on the bottom or can you use some type of patch in the water?

Last post

It might be possible to fix the hole with the water in the pool using Pool Putty epoxy putty. Especially fairly small holes, up to 1" in...
