Leak - need some advice please

[redger]

I'm going to re-activate this thread. I also having been losing water in my in-ground vinyl pool. At night when it is really quiet, if I put my head down by the steps going into the pool, I can hear water trickling.

I suspect that it is leaking around the steps. How does one go about fixing a leak around the steps?

Bump..........I don't have the answers but hopefully keeping this at this top as a "new" thread will get some attention from somebody that does!

Haven't said anything because I have no idea but I think my first step would be to find exactly where along that seal it is leaking. If you hear anything then it's a substantial flow and dye should find it pretty easily. Could it be a torn liner along that metal clamp? I have a bottle of dye tablets used for stream tracing and I dissolve a piece of one in water and use a syringe or for deeper leaks where I can't reach directly, a small garden sprayer with a long piece of auto vacuum hose jury rigged to the squirter. I then tape the hose to a pole and am ablle to inject dye anywhere I want. You may be able to find dye markers at a dive shop or even boil raw beets and use the red juice.
Best I can suggest.
