We inherited our leaking pool from the previous owner. Since we bought the house almost a year ago, we've been constantly battling the leak issues.

We hired American Leak Detection in May. After spending hours (2 days), they found a small leak in the pipe and fixed it. The pool kept leaking after the repair.

They came back in July and found no loss of pressure. They dove and epoxied a crack. The pool is still leaking.

They just came back and now say there's a small leak in the return--exactly the same area they dug in May. And they aren't even sure if it's the cause of the leak! (We're totally frustrated by their "expensive guesses".)

We lose about 3/4" of water a day, but the leak always stops at the bottom of the skimmer box (and therefore we never thought the crack was the cause of the leak).

Does anyone have any idea why the water stops leak at the bottom of the skimmer box, and if the leak is in the return line? Does that seem logical?
