Pool was fine until we covered it-HELP!!!!!

[aylad]

Finding leaks in a pool is a difficult task, at best. I'm surprised that you're not seeing evidence of a leak, though, with that much water loss. The only thing I know to tell you is to just wait until the water stops dropping, then look around the waterline and see what you can find--The leak is going to be just above the waterline when the level stops dropping.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome! I am sure I will be using this site in the months to come! The pool has stopped leaking and is just at the returns. We have not uncovered yet, but will this weekend with nice weather and husband off from work. At least it has stopped and we are able to reach down the sides to repair/replace whatever we find, instead of having to get in the water! Thanks again and I will update as we find our problem!

Good luck--hope it's something easy!

I didn't wait for hubby to get off this weekend, but chose to uncover myself and find that cause of my worry! I have went over the entire pool surface just above the water line and I have found NO holes, rips, tears, or even a rough spot. NOTHING! Even the seam looks as good as it did the day the pool was installed! The water level has stopped at the returns, so I am thinking it might be them, but I did a dye test and found nothing sucking the red out of the water! Nothing again! The only thing left is the returns. Do you think I should replace the face plates on those things (they do look a bit ancient, never been changed that I know of) and replace the winter plugs with the o-rings? Any thoughts, ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
