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"
