Have you considered a divining rod and holding it backwards?
Sorry couldn't resist the humor... but on the serious side,, I got 114,000 hits for a Yahoo search for "pool leak detector" Might be something in that pile to help. Good luck Gary "Joel" wrote in message ... 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 AG4QC "Fred McKenzie" wrote in message ... In article , "Joel" wrote: The problem is it could be on the bottom or sides and I need something better then my eyes to find it. It certainly is leaking as I have standing water all around the pool. 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? 73, Fred, K4DII |
