Just set up intex metal above ground pool. Only put few inches of water and its leaking all around. Tried food coloring and couldn't find holes or tears. Help

1. First look at the seams. Put some water in the pool, then go around the pool on the outside and lift a section at a time and look for leaks. Once you find one, mark it with a marking pen.

2. After you have Identified the leaks (I just did this and found 3 leaks), get a patch kit from Intex. There should be one that came with your pool. Put the glue on the patch and seal it from the inside. You will have to drain the water from the pool and dry off the area but the patch should be done from the inside. I tried one on the outside to see if it would work but it did not.

3. If you have a leak in the air ring, you will have to wait until you fill the pool. Then push down a section of the ring at a time of the air ring into the water and look for bubbles. If you find one, mark it and later come back and patch with kit.

4. If the leak is not on the water side, then you will have to put a soapy sponge (with palmalive) and put all along the ring top. This should identify the leak and you can then can patch it.

5. Good luck. Look along the seams first. This is the most likely place, then look elsewhere.
