I have a 25,000 gallon in-ground pool. Vinyl liner…two returns, one skimmer, one bottom drain…typical set-up.
I am definitely losing more water than evaporation ever caused. I set a bucket on the steps and the pool lost more water. It is also fairly obvious that it occurs during filtering. The pool loses almost nothing when it sits without filtering.
Based on what I’ve read, finding the leak has been mastered by leak specialists, even if it is in the plumbing below the poured concrete decks. And I’ve seen encouraging news that repairing it isn’t catastrphic once it’s found. A couple of hundred bucks to find…maybe the same to fix. :dubious:
What I don’t quite ‘get’ is exactly how you would fix a plumbing leak if you could find it. Well, especially since it could only cost a couple hundred US dollars… considering the amount of pipe and how it’s buried under the pool/decks.
I need to be armed with information before I call any pool service. Th nature of the pool industry is that they can play on fear and take advantage of you.
How can you find a leak in hundreds of feet of plumbing, repair it, cause almost no damage and do it for 500 bucks? Seems like a daunting challenge, but there are vague indications that it is done everyday. :dubious:
Help.
