Grout is never a barrier to water.  If the pool is leaking, almost 90% of the time, its in the piping.  Every now and then, we get a structural leak, but this is extremely rare even in the worst possible construction.  Best to drain, pressure test all piping works.

Grout IS a barrier if the proper ingredients are mixed with the grout, as well as grout sealers.
Poorly constructed walls of the pool without the proper admix can also result in cracks.
You can pressure test the pipes without having to drain the pool.
Don't always listen to the doctor.........
Thanks guys for the info. My small pool is above ground and the only piping is to my Filter Pump so thats not the problem. It must be the Grout as the guy who built the pool maybe mixed it wrong. What I will do is grind out the old grout and put in new grout. Hopfully that will fix it.

In Topic: Where To Go In Koh Samui

Hello there. The Centara is a wonderful place to stay but when you walk out of it, the area around is not 5 star, riding around on your moto and drinking beer is what Samui is all about but you will be in magnificent scenery and every ride will be a pleasure, I cant think of any 1 thing that stands out about Samui it is the whole experience, thats why I live here. There are no shopping malls but the shopping is amazingly good.
