Does anyone know the best way to fix a leak in a pool? Is there a 'filler' that would do the job. I ddn't really want to chisel the hole deeper and then add cement.
The pool will be painted with an e-poxy based paint once the leak is fixed.

Many thanks

Its the cement, not a leaky pipe somewhere ?

You can see the problem, can you ?

Pipes would call for pressure check......

Many thanks Don. Is the store on the North Coast?

William, I can see the leak, I used a food dye to confirm the leak was where I thought it was.

Thanks Guys

(1) The leak..make sure you over cover the area well. Historicly patches in pools do not hold too long. The patch eventually develops what the call here a junta fria ( a cold joint ) due to curing process. Make sure you cover it with a pool coat.
(2) The epoxy paint..If you are lucky you may get 2 years out of the paint, and it is not cheap. The chlorine eventually eats into the epoxy and lifts it from the surface.
