Help with leaks in new pool!

[jnorris]

Thanks, Poconos, for the reply. There is someone at the house right now, who says he will be there until the leak is fixed. His plan for today was to block off the main drains and do a pressure test. I wish I knew more about what this means, but I have heard of this before. No one has mentioned to me using dye to try to trace the leak. If the pool is still leaking at the end of today, I'm going to bring that up. It is just so frustrating! We have paid him all but the 10% holdback, and I'm really hoping that he is not thinking he has been paid enough for his time. He has been in the business around here for 20 years, and we checked references, etc. I guess I would just feel better if the owner of the pool company was calling me and updating me, instead of me having to wait at my house for the workers to show up to ask them. I know I can call him, but he should be calling me, right?

By the way, the pool is 18' x 40' 3 bump kidney, 3' to 6' depth, vinyl liner. They build a concrete shell, then put the foam on the walls and sand (or vermiculite, not sure) on the bottom, then drop the liner in. From what I've been told, this is a more expensive way to build a liner pool, but probably the best way.
