    Joe, I was born and bread in Tenafly - come Tuesday, or whenever this %^*^%&^$#^%$ rain stops, do as Al said and look around the plumbing for drips - please remember to check under the pump!. If it's not a plumbing issue, it's a liner issue and we can tell you how to check the liner for leaks

    In the mean time, just run a hose into the pool so you don't get too low on the water level (of course with the rain we're expecting - the hose probably won't be needed)
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Thanks guys.

    I checked all my hoses and they seem fine. I did notice the fitting that goes into the filter from the skimmer hose has a little bit of water around it. It's a white PVC fitting with teflon tape on it from last year.

    I put the filter on and wiped away the water several times and it immediately re-appeared. So, what I did this morning before I left for work was, plugged up the skimmer with a rubber ball and brick so the pool water does not flow out of the skimmer and also I plugged up the return. I will see what the level looks like when I get home tonight. I picked up some teflon tape and I will replace the old tape.

    I Sure as hell HOPE that is my problem. I don't feel like replacing the liner.

    Well, after putting on some fresh teflon tape, I did not lose any more water.
    One question though, is there any way to totally stop all water from seeping out ? It 's still is a tiny tiny bit wet.

    Any tips or tricks on teflon tape or anything else ?

    Thanks
    Joe
