Hi, I've inherited a house with an Esther Williams oval above ground pool with deep end from the 80's. This was my grandma's pool so I am very familiar with it, it was just never my problem before now. While installing a new deck around the pool the contractor notices two smaller than a dime size holes approximately four inches from the bottom, it's not leaking but u can see liner. Download java for mac mojave. I'm not ready to drain and replace the liner yet, so I don't know what the inside might look like. Is there something I can do to buy some time until I am ready to replace liner? Are these holes just something that could possibly damage the liner and cause a leak or is there potential for it to collapse??? Also 2007 after a major flood, the pool was completely taken down and reinstalled because of flood damage. At least in 2007, everything was good. Any advice anyone can provide, would be greatly appreciated
