Have a leak somewhere that I can't find. It has to be near, around, or above the skimmer line since the pool stops losing water when it drops below the skimmer. I have had two pool companies out who have done very little. The last one that came told me he did not think there was a leak in my lines as the pressure was good. He said he was fairly confident the leak was with the skimmer. He took pictures and measured, but that was a week ago and no one has contacted me since. Other pool company was basically the same. Told both companies I was new to owning a pool and it was an old pool. The tech thought it could be the seal around the skimmer. I have sealed around the skimmer with pool putty. Leak seemed to slow a bit but did not stop. I did not do the bucket test yet as I figured there was no way that much water could be evaporating from the pool. Although, it has been extremely dry (we are almost in drought conditions) and hot. I have done the food dye tests and have sealed up where it looked like there could be some leaking...have found nothing major though. Any help would be appreciated..I would really like to solve this problem myself as I have not really had much help from these pool companies. Also, there are no leaks anywhere visible. Thanks for your help.
