This is a above ground pool with a vinyl liner.. about 27 feet in diameter,
we had a special liner installed in it so we have the ground dug out so the
deep end is about 6 and half feet deep. The bottom is cement as it's the
only way to keep the sand from migrating along the bottom to the deep end.
So a leak is a bugger to find as the liner leaks and the cement bottom send
the water in all directions. I had another leak a year or so ago and I ended
up draining the pool and finely found it and repaired it. In this case I
can't drain the pool again, as the line probably won't take another
streaching. And -ex- your probably right, I need to get a expert out here..
I live about 200 miles from Nashville and 150 from Memphis, and that's where
these 'experts' probably would have to come. So if I could find this thing
it would be great. I know they make some sort of electronic gismos for
finding leaks, I just have no idea how they work.

Joe-

I've never had a pool, but it seems to me that standing water could only
be the result of a gross leak. You should be able to see it with the
naked eye.

Isn't it more likely that a leak would be in the external plumbing
associated with the pool? How else could the pool have a water level
lower than the surrounding standing water, unless it is located in a
swamp?
