Don’t panic if you have a leak in your pool liner. It is possible to repair the leak (and quite often without having to drain the water) – but you need to do it as soon as possible so that the tear or rip does not get any bigger.
You can buy pool repair kits that are either for use under the water level or on a dry pool. Obviously it is going to be a little harder to repair a leak at the bottom of the pool but if you repair it quickly then it may save you from having to replace the whole pool liner.
It may be worth putting in a patch repair in the summer while you are using the pool and then doing a comprehensive repair in the winter (with an empty pool perhaps). At this point, if you need to, you can replace the pool liner.
