I think I have a leak :(

Thank you! I think it is in the line and not the concrete pool. Only because when we turn the pump on it comes out of the concrete in the pool house ANd there is sitting water now around the pool house and we have lost almost 4 inches of water in 2 days. Ugggg.... I cannot believe a pool person cannot get out here on an emergency call. Frustrating! Thank you again

Probably they'll have to dig up the line and repair the break. These days, pool plumbing mostly uses PVC pipe and Schedule 40 glued-on fittings (Schedule 40 is a standard for plastic pressure pipe). Finding the break is the tough part. Fixing PVC is pretty easy. If you have a concrete deck you have to cut through, that's tougher.

If it's simply a pipe, any plumber should be able to repair it.

Indiana is seasonal pool country -- very seasonal. Pool businesses struggle to keep employees over the winter, so they'll have some come summer. But there's no way for them to carry enough employees in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, & Mar to have enough to meet demand in May and June.

Thank you all for your replies. My husband and I decided to just start digging in the yard - lol. Probably a bad idea, but we are just frustrated. So we started at the pool house and dug a bit until we found PVC. Right at the concrete foundation water was just streaming out. We are sure it is a pipe under the concrete in the pool house. We found large tree roots wrapped over and under a few pipes. In looking in the pool house - you can see where this area of concrete has been cut out in the past. I think we could probably fix the leak if we can get someone to break the concrete up for us - softly haha without causing more damage to the pipes.
