    Default losing 2 inches of water everyday?

    hi,

    when I run the filter, looks like we're losing 2-3 inches of water per 10 hours. pool is 28k gallons gunite. Is there anything I can do or do I have to call the pool company for a pressure test?

    tia,
    37x20, 28,300 gallon gunite, irregularly shaped, hayward 1.5 super pump, hayward 4820 DE filter, northeast geo

    As each inch is about 460 gallons, you are losing a LOT of water!--90-130 gallons per HOUR! Or 1.5 to 2.3 gallons per minute! Serious leak(s) somewhere.

    Do you lose water when you are NOT running the pool? Search for wet areas around the pool...soggy ground, etc. Is there wetness near the pump and filter?
    Can you turn off certain lines, like the low drain(s) or skimmer, isolating them and seeing if the leak stops?
