Help with a pin hole leak!

[Poconos]

I taped a long thin piece of auto vacuum hose to a 1/2" PVC pole and the other end of the hose to a garden sprayer. You have to go very slowly, positioning the hose near the target, then giving a little squirt of dye, and wait. The 320 GPD works out to be a little less than a quart a minute. May be tough to find. Mine was about 3 qts per minute and found it fast. To see if I could see it suck the dye I started a siphon with a garden hose on the bottom and set the rate to that of the leak then played with the dye to see what it looked like, and, if I could detect it. For the dye I used red stream tracer tablets dissolved in water. May also find a dye marker at a dive shop, or, go buy some raw beets, chop and boil them, make a lot of red beet dye, then eat the beets. Oh, one other thing. With a leak that slow you may have trouble with turbulance just from you being in the pool. Water has to be very still. When I was doing mine last year even the sun heating the water was enough to cause noticable turbulence in places. Water has to be very still.
Good Luck.
