I follow the dirt piles usually the holes hold the dirt to them ever use leaktronics electronic leak detector takes som getting used but it works helps out when the pools cold as crap a little faster at times. Someone didn't measure very good for that liner i jave pool with auto covers and 12 year old liners no wrinkles, those looked like slack wrinkles especially on the floor too much liner to begin with i suspect . Do use an air hooka for air or a tank i use a hooka system. Nice vid 🖖🤟✌️👍

I used to use the vinyl leak detector but the time to set up and have to dive anyways I just hop in and the wrinkles are caused by having an auto cover and a heated pool over time the liner will stretch you will not see that on a pool with no auto cover.

autocovers and chemicals cause wrinkles along with holes in a liner especially if the pool leaks down during winter and the water table out here in Indiana will float the liner

Just curious I have a leak in my vinyl liner in ground pool and was wondering what ate the most common issues when it comes to leaks that you run into? The light fixture area? Or pinholes in the liner?? Mine has fiberglass steps and I know there’s a leak where the liner transitions to the steps in the bottom corner that I need to address. Great video by the way. Gives us DIYers confidence to tackle this stuff ourselves! Thanks…

If the surface is flat it isn’t usually a problem the suction from the leak will help hold the patch down if it’s a tear in a wrinkle it can be a challenge

I can't afford to hire someone to find my leak. It's a metal walled 27' above ground pool. Loosing a half inch a water per day. Have any recommendations for a poor man method to finding it? I tried using food dye..... I turned my hands red was the result.

Unfortunately the leak will never stop at the leaking point due to the lack of hydrostatic pressure. What type of pool do you have and how much leakage per day? Also fill to operational level and try a 24 hour off the 24 hour on test if leaks the same on or off it’s in the structure
