I have a couple ultra sounds not mine aren’t for underwater use as far as a leak trac vinyl liner leak detector I can dive and locate a hole quicker than I can set up the device
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…
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.
So, how do you actually fix a pin hole leak in the liner in a freezing cold pool. They typical patch/glue doesn't seem to like the freezing temps very much. Help!
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
@@hoosierleakguy4565 i have a -32 degree Whites dry suit with 30 pounds on and i float like a boat i cant stay down, i burped the suit as well, i just ordered 40 pounds n harness with ankle weights, i hope that works
@@hoosierleakguy4565 yes im adding alot more weight tomorrow so i can use dry suit, i will switch to 5mm wet suit when water n weather gets warmer, right now the water is freezing cold LMAO
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
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.
nice video i have a small leak but i can t find it , i just let it umpty and it seems to stop now what do i do?, it s an above pool,.so normaly the.leak is at the same.level.right?
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
@@hoosierleakguy4565 for now it s us der the skimmer i had to stop it, i think i M gonna leave it lime that for now and check tomorrow morning, i .ade à Mark on the skimmer and i ll check tomorrow
I am not trying to be a smart @$$, but all I am seeing is leaves getting brushed away and what appears to be a random spot you stop at. What am I missing?
Damn brotha...20k views! Your production is getting really good. Keep it up man.
55k now
Awesomely done great video hopefully we can see some more
Job well done I enjoyed whole video thanks for sharing your knowledge
Hi great video, I will just recommend you to get an ultrasound device to check for leaks (It can save you a lot of time and energy). Nice work!

Thanks for sharing! I had a pool leak as well , trying to baby it until I can afford a new liner.
Call around for leak detection prices I make that problem go away for $325 in my area!
Dang, no wonder I haven't been able to find the leak in my pool. I thought it would be more obvious, you must have superman vision.
What happened with the main drain?

I do located a few light leaks a week at the conduit but really depends on the time of year right now lots of pool parties so lots of liner patching
That liner has a million wrinkles in it, no wonder they are getting holes. Great job.
Common issue having a heated pool and an auto cover!
What dry suit is that

Great vid too bad about the distracting music.
WORMS! lol how the heck did you find those holes! what?
Do you live by Kentucky? I live an hour from Louisville and I think we have a small leak.
im just north of Indianapolis I have worked with the Louisville zoo that had a leak issue with the penguin tank
Wait...this ISN'T Opie from Sons of Anarchy? 🤔
Wow you’re cool 😎
is that much wrinkles in the liner normal? I am researching vinyl pool and this scared me. Thanks in advance for replying
wrinkles can be caused by chemicals not being allowed to breath with an auto cover or even a liner leak

Do you do work in chicago area well south west of chicago im about 15 away from south bend indiana? I got a leak i just cant find the hole

Try American Leak Detection
great video, how much weight on your harness do you use to keep you down ??
Around 25 lbs so I can sink like a rock!
@@hoosierleakguy4565 i have a -32 degree Whites dry suit with 30 pounds on and i float like a boat i cant stay down, i burped the suit as well, i just ordered 40 pounds n harness with ankle weights, i hope that works
I had that issue trying to wear a drysuit undergarment might want to add some more weight
@@hoosierleakguy4565 yes im adding alot more weight tomorrow so i can use dry suit, i will switch to 5mm wet suit when water n weather gets warmer, right now the water is freezing cold LMAO
Still a bit chilly here in Indiana as well!
How much water would be lost in say a 12 hr period with just that pinhole leak? 1/2 inch/1/4 or more?
Prob a good 1/4” because of the location at the bottom of the wall
That was a p!ss popr liner install! Holy wrinkles Batman!
Wrinkles are usually caused by an auto cover closed and the chemicals not allowed to breath

Right! Horrible liner

Follow the bottom of the wall around the pool with some good goggles especially where the steps set!

And also where did it stop?
@@hoosierleakguy4565 above ground pool i leave canada Ottawa, maybe 3 ¹/16 à day
Geesh yeah literally a pinhole I find most above ground pool leaks around the floor where the steps rub or the bottom of the wall

Just had a new liner installed. Now have a leak which I did not have before!! Now what?!
Usually after a liner install and the pool is leaking I find the leak in the light nitch at the conduit or the bottom step or side ladder gasket
@@hoosierleakguy4565 you were spot on, it was at the trim piece around the steps! Screws were loose. Thanks !
I have the same problem and exact same line.r Need your contact info please
3173791447
Whoever measured that liner needs to be demoted
That’s normal with an autocover if not allowed to breath
Can i make an appointment for you to come out?

What was it that made you check those spots w dye?
you saw exactly what I see
I totally get it im not very good at trying to film just showing what it takes to find a leak and showing that most leaks aren't super obvious
Rich people problems
That pool is disgusting 🤢
hold your breath?
I plug a regulator into my air hose and use an oil free compressor
what is the yellow stuff
