    Default Hole in liner

    We have a '24 round '4 foot deep above ground pool we drained just below the inlet jet for winter last year and there was only about 2 inches of water so we went ahead and emptied it. There is obviously a leak. Any tips on how to find the hole would be greatly!!! Appreciated!!

    1. Inspect the pool's seams. Often AG pool leaks are in the seams.

    2. If you find nothing, fill the pool to 4", and see if leaks back to 2". If it does, look for leaks just below the water line.

    3. If you find a likely leak, fill to 2 - 3" above the leak and dye test like this: http://youtu.be/Y90c7pYMgPc

    4. Order Boxer glue and patch kits, recommended by most here, from Amazon:
    Boxer Adhesives No.110 4 oz Vinyl Pool Repair Kit
    Boxer 4 oz Vinyl Swimming Pool Liner Repair Kit
    Boxer Vinyl Pool Repair Kit Size: 2 Oz
