Pool leak bucket test results in......Help me interpret

[PoolBoob]

Update.....I dropped the water level below the skimmer and saw two cracks in the grout or plaster on either side. Did a 24 hour bucket test with pump off and both the pool and bucket levels went down 1/4 inch. I bought some A and B epoxy putty and will cram some in each crack, refill pool and try the bucket test again. One test with pump running and another with pump off.

Comments, anyone ?

BTW....Admin. Can you move this thread up to "inground pools"

Update.......Maybe my pool level measurement yesterday was not 100% correct. It is difficult to measure. Think pool went down more than 1/4 inch.

I did a 12 hour bucket test last night and this a.m. Pool went down one inch and bucket down one-half inch. So the skimmer was probably one leak and there is another leak elsewhere. I am now draining the pool below the eyeball returns and Polaris cleaner fitting. Might even expose the light. Will let you know results.

Admin/Mod......can you move this up to the main forum....inground pool......please
