Above ground pool has a leak. How to find it question..

You can buy a dye on Amazon, comes in a gallon jug. It lights up when hit by a UV light. Pour that in your pool and then look after dark to see where it is coming from.

That's what I think I'm going to have to do. Thanks for the help!

In my specific case each time it was around the light each time on gunite pools. One pool was new, the other one was around 10 years old. Each time they used the red chemical used to check your pool chemical balance. Good luck

I’d look at the seam in the liner real good. That’s were I gave way.

Throw in a handful of fine ground pecan shells they will go to the leak. That’s how we just used to stop leaks when we built coffer dams.

You should be able to see it with your eyes. I have had to patch ours a couple of times. Ours have always been on the bottom and full of water.
