Need help with identification.

Kevin, can your realtor contact the previous owner and ask them where they bought the pool? If you know that, they might be able to tell you what type it is. Just a thought.

[Scrapple]

I think they bought it from Namco on close out.

[BigDave]

Why are you trying to figure out the manufacturer? Are there broken / missing parts?

[Scrapple]

It has a leak somewhere. Was quoted $400 to find it. Then there is the cost to fix. Trying to determine if it's worth it.

Wow! If the leak is from the liner, the hardest part is finding it, but you can make repairs yourself even under water.

If the leak if from the plumbing, there's NO reason on an AG pool to not locate it and fix it. Above Ground Pool plumbing is rarely complicated.

Finding a leak requires a dye, like "Find A Leak" (one brand). Some are even fluorescent but I've not used them. You find the likeliest area by searching for where it's wet outside the pool. Turn off the pump and let the water get very still. Add the dye and wait. If it's near the leak in 10-30 minutes it should collect at the leak point.

Then you patch it.

Plumbing leaks should be easier to find unless you have buried pipes. Look for drips.

The leak is not from the plumbing, I've already checked. It just seems like I'm losing too much to evap. Like 1/2 to 3/4 inch per day. Can the bucket test be done if the bucket isn't in the water? My ladder won't accommodate a bucket. We've also had very little rain this summer, which I'm is a contributor to all of the water I've had to add.

[CarlD]

The bucket test shows vividly whether the pool level is going down faster than the bucket level. If the water level's going down but the bucket's water level isn't, you have a leak. If they go down the same, it's evaporation.

1/2 to 3/4 is a lot for the NE. Can you see any wetter spots around the pool?

[Scrapple]

That is what I did. Put it on the deck next to the pool. They are calling for showers later today and tomorrow. We will see. Every time they have called for rain we've gotten very little.
