When issues present themselves that cause water to escape from your pool, applying band-aid measures to stop the water loss is a futile effort. The issue causing the leak still exists when it isn’t properly addressed. For instance, if a crack has begun to form in the pool and you dye test the crack and see it’s leaking, you might want to fill that crack with epoxy to stop the water flow, but you aren’t addressing the real issue. Something is causing that crack to form, that’s what needs to be taken care of, and fast. Cracks continue to spread and lengthen due to pressures pushing on the pool shell, or substandard work that caused the area to weaken and crack. Epoxy doesn’t stop concrete damage, it just fills a hole until the concrete extends it’s damage, then it leaks again. the issue isn’t the leak in the crack, the issue is about repairing the concrete properly with compression staples, specifically, Torque Lock Staples.
Leaks in pipes can be identified, using a static pipe test you can confirm that a pipe is leaking, but without knowing where the pipe is leaking, you might be breaking concrete and digging up lines to find it and make extensive repairs.

It’s not likely you’ll do that yourself.
