Yes! I've subscribed to that thread so that I can fix any future leak (if I can find it) faster. This one wasn't a problem, as the deep end is only 4.5 feet, and the water level was so low.

Actually, I think I will use that method to put liner patches over the clear patches that ALD put down, now that the pool is almost full and held every millimeter of water overnight (YAY!) Those clear patches are already turning white--an excellent development, as I was able to show my husband EXACTLY where he screwed up! haha

Now I have to go out and fix a pump leak before the heat kicks in. I had a local pool company (supposedly very reputable) come out to do a pressure test while I waited for the ALD folks, just to make sure it wasn't underground. Boy, do I rue that decision. That gomer blew the pump lid seal with the test, and in the process, the pipe going from the pump to the multiport valve now has that slow beading and trickle where it exits the pump. What's really annoying is that I had ALWAYS had trouble with that one spot, and the ALD guy fixed it for me three years ago when I had my first liner leak. Ah, well, at least he put a union on there for me, and I know how to fix it myself now, right?
