One way is to deflate the ring partially then fold it into the water and hold it under. Bubbles should show up at the leak. You will probably have to do a section at a time, whatever is comfortable for you to handle. Check the area around the plugs first in case it's a seal problem rather then a small puncture. Another approach is gooey stuff spread over a suspected area. Corn syrup, molasses, play goop, things like that. It sticks, so you can sometimes spot bubbles in hard to submerge areas. Good luck.

There should be bubble where the leak is??? Try putting baking soda around the bottom and see if that shows where it is???I don't have my pool anymore. We were only able to put it on the concrete and it tore too many times to fix this year.

Perhaps check where u got your pool. If not get bigger for sure. I don't recommend this specific product!!

Because it is leaking. I had the same problem and called Hamilton Beach and they are sending me a new unit. Had a choice of whether to wait until the end of the month when they will have a new improved one of the same model or a different model. I chose to go for a different model. All I had to pay is $13.00 for shipping.

I bought a small clear flexible 3/4" hose about 10 to 12 feet long from the local hardware store, and completely submersed it under the pool water, then you cover the one end with your thumb to seal it, pull the one end of the hose out down to ground level , release your thumb and most of the water will siphon out once it starts flowing if the other end is unobstructed and at the bottom of the pool. It will take a while. I usually leave it overnight and walk away and let it drain. This gets most of the water out and at that point you can get to the pools drain plug if you desire to drain all the water. A garden hose may work but its harder to plug the end with your thumb and would probably be too long

I really don't remember. What I do know is that the first layer had a leak when it was inflated. Didn't want the hassle of sending it back, so we patched it. Two days later the top ring deflated. This pool was not abused in any way...just a piece of junk.

Hello, I can only account for my hot tub leak I'm afraid. However, I applied Fix a Leak while the tub was circulating but removed the filters first. As the tub is above ground and I knew where the leaks were I was able to monitor it and all three leaks stopped within 2 minutes. I was delighted but one of them came back a fortnight later. This time I trickled the Fix a Leak over the known problem area having removed the filters first and only used a small amount until the leak stopped once again. I then devised a way of taking as much Fix a Leak out of the bottom of the tub as it separates and is heavier than the water. Then I put the filters back in, waited a day and have been enjoying a leak free tub for around a month now. This may not be relevant to your specific problem but it may help.

There is a gasket on top of the pump, sometimes it get's stuck inside the lid. Plug the hoses and drain the water from the pump. Take the gasket from the lid and put it back I to the groove in the top of the pump. That should solve the leak.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

Mine is dead too after one year of pumping excess water out of the 15 ft. pool. Noticed the inside was a little wet. Think the O-ring seal is NG. Cannot submerge the unit

Just get a sponge and soapy water and coat all connected parts (hoses and regulators). You should be able to see a bubble forming where the leak is coming from in your system.

Look in the center of the spray adjustment wheel. There should be a screw. Try tightening it and that may stop your problems with it leaking.

Mine leaked air when I first bought it...I took it apart, polished the inside of the reservoir and replaced the O-rings...after that, it would hold air indefinitely...

Just thought of one tiny thing... If water seeps out of the sink when drain is closed, unscrew the ring and reset it with more plumbers putty. This happened to us initially but adding more putty sealed it up and we have not had any trouble at all.

Our Butterfly pool had a drain but that was 2 years ago. The model may have changed so I would query the manufacturer...to be sure.

I bought one of these about a month ago, and this things never leaks. I don't even see where it could leak. If yours is leaking, it could be that there is a faulty part that you should replace, or maybe you have a piece out of place from when you cleaned it last. If it's very old, maybe the seal around the heating element is failing. But other than that, all the water is held in a solid plastic housing that couldn't leak unless it was cracked. Hope that helps.
