    Default Re: How to repair an IG liner leak at the skimmer interface and replace skimmer

    Just reading around with the dye method. So I'm clear, the pump will be off, and the water as calm as possible. Do I have to walk around and drip the dye in, looking for it to be sucked out, or do I put the dye in and look for it to settle out?

    Unless your leak is HUGE, you have to have the tip of the dye emitter (can be a bottle of phenol red) within 1/4" or less of the suspected leak location. I'm posting two short movies of me leak-testing a commercial kiddie pool. They illustrate (a) how to do it and (b) a NEGATIVE (no leak) result. I have to do some minimal editing on the POSITIVE test result before I can post it. I'll put the links in the following post, once YouTube has them live.
