    to swim.But it is warming up here so know they will be hollowing to swim

    We have the pool uncovered, the pillows removed, and the 1″ of water in the
    pool is clear, but the liner is pretty nasty. We really need suggestions on
    how to find the leak down at that level. Will it be obvious? Is there a way to
    maybe see it by shining light on it?
    Next, the liner really needs to be cleaned before we fill it — assuming we
    find the leak.
    I guess what I’m looking for is step-by-step instructions for getting the
    pool ready for use.
    ANY advice is welcome!
    Thanks!

    Peter, thanks for your post. The above is good advice, but first we need to
    find the general area. I was hoping the hole or puncture would be easy to
    see, and thought there might be a trick to finding it.
    We’ll be sure to check all the pressure points first.
    Thanks!
