Thanks, you guys.

Spent yesterday afternoon in a panic. Not about the pool but because I could not access Pool Forum. The site simply would not open. I was afraid it had gone down entirely and what a travesty that would be!

Al, thanks for the description of the leak detector apparatus. It sounds like a project I could totally get behind.

But first, the bucket test. Once I have water in the container and have it floating in the pool, I mark the inside of the container with its water level and make a mark outside the container for the pool's water level, is that correct? Evap would affect both the same and if I do have a leak the mark on the outside would indicate that.

Ted, I appreciate the encouragement. Did you say you had put in your garden already??? We're still getting night frosts here
