Dealing with Pool Leak and what is Pressure side leak and how to resolve this??
I have an inground pool 18 x 32 with steps. I done the Pool bucket test. It stays the same when the pool is off. When I turn it on I lose about 1/2 inch per day. I have patched all visible small tiny holes I can see below the 9 foot deep water.... ranging from 4 ft deep to 9'. Skimmer seems fine... liner is about 7 or 8 yrs old now. We had asked American leak to come before we actually changed the liner. Now the price is about $600+. I do not want to call them in fix it and then about 6months to 1 year I change the liner. It would be a complete waste of money then. Should I just change the liner or ask American leak?? The pump leaks a little... the ball valve on the pump itself when doing the backwash is secured by a valve. The pool filter itself does not seem to be leaking anywhere. It was not leaking for the past 6 years or after I had replaced the liner. I use Fix a Leak on the skimmer. Pictures here show the steps, 2 skimmers (both on opposite sides), the filter itself (filter, chlorine feeder, SWG, etc). I checked backwash it seems not to be leaking on filter and outside. There is also some rust like stain a little on liner.... There was some crack on the skimmer sides before which I had used epoxy to fix about 6 years ago (not relating to liner--- see the skimmer open one with the star sponge). It seems to be ok.. maybe there is still leaking? Anyone knows how to fix stain? When I use Jacks magic purple stuff it comes out after 3-4 days of the pump... iron in water. Pool is balanced chemically using taylor kit.
