    Ha ha.... you're right about that. Patience is something I have very little of!! Thanks for the vessel test idea also.... I will try that one after I try the straight bucket test, assuming it comes back positive for leakage. I'm actually thinking maybe the "leakage" is just the result of my kids getting bigger and splashing out more than they have in past years, especially since they've been in it way more this year with the hot weather.

    Lucky me, mine is from evaporation! Thanks for telling about the bucket test.

    should have links to a couple pics for a pressure test jig and a description.
    If the pics aren't visible for some reason let us know and we'll figure something out.

    On a patience note, for a couple spring seasons I've chased my tail thinking I have a leak and it indeed was evaporation. Simply caused by warmer water, cool dry nights, and wind. You'll be surprised how much water can be lost.
