Had the leak detector folks out today, and after a couple hours on the bottom of the pool, they identified enough little pinholes that they stopped counting. Seems that the PO's of our house didn't get much for their money's worth on the new liner they installed in 2009, and some tiny pebbles or other debris has worn holes through the bottom of the deep end. It seems like a waste to replace a liner this new over 15-20 pinhole leaks.

I've read the How To stickie on patching vinyl liners, and I'm wondering if there is a different method for patching pinholes? Same method as big holes, I suspect, but it would be nice to find something that was a little easier to apply. Sadly, the holes aren't all close enough to cover more than one per patch short of covering the whole bottom of the deep end. Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated.

Also, a leak (the primary culprit) was found in one of the skimmers, where the pipe is attached to the skimmer bucket. At some point, we'll have some concrete work done and replace the skimmers, but I'd like to patch the crack to save water until then. What's the best way to patch that kind of crack? Good old 2-part epoxy, or...?

Thanks in advance,

Clair
