I know that sinking feeling. In 72 hours, 14" of water computes to 97 gallons per hour which is a substantial leak. Mine was just around 50 and I found it easily with dye, patience, the right technique, and knowing what to look for. There are a lot of threads in this particular forum addressing leak detection and repair. I'll look up some threads and just wanted to post this so you know the post has been seen. Check back shortly...like an hour.
A question...is there a deep end and how deep?
A very common leak area is where the liner is pinched for a seal around the stairs or, as in my case, where the liner transitions from bottom to wall. Something else to do is to start measuring the leak rate over time. Use a ruler or something to measure the water level referencing some fixed point like a spot on the stairs or the pool bottom at a specific point. Measure every few hours. The rate at which the leak is occurring can be an indication of how deep to look. As the water level approaches the leak point the rate will slow and eventually stop. In my case the leak was at the deep end and never slowed.
I will be back...
