Unknown Leak
Hello. Two consecutive years of a leak that cannot be found. Local pool company has repeatedly injected dye and pasted to no avail. Hired a professional leak detection company that could not find anything significant. I finally just let the water drop to see how low it would go in hopes of it stopping where a leak would be. It stopped just under where the wall meets the base at the corner. I’m in the process of using pool putty myself around the entire corner and seams. I took a picture of a problem area but don’t see a way to upload anything so if someone wants to take a look and give me an opinion on what it could be, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

When I build a pool I use a water bar sealer (bentonite) compound to seal up the junction but most don't snd its a common place for a leak. Even on liner pools as I have seen rust stains from the rebar showing on the liners.
I may not give you the answer you want to hear, but I will give an honest opinion of your situation as you decribe it.
