Hi, recently went through a freeze and during the thaw, the plumbing line for my cleaner, which is plumbed on its own valve, sprung a leak. This is confirmed as when I bypass the booster pump, leak stops. Slow dribble with pool running and gushing water with booster pump on. The leaking water was coming up between the pavers and the coping all along that drawn red box in the picture. I’m curious as to how these lines are generally plumbed. In the picture, is the white line how the pipe would usually enter the wall or is it possible it’s running parallel to the pool wall there or under the coping (yellow line)? Of note, there is some heaving of the pavers near the top of that red box. Also some of the leaking water seemed to be traveling under the pavers and exiting at random places above deck. There is also a crack in the coping (pre existing) close to where the water originally started leaking from.
Leak detect guy came out and said he’d probably dig where the green circle is, but he only did a pressure test and didn’t listen for the leak. I’m more inclined to think it is closer to the wall and where the pavers have been pushed upwards.
The pool is running fine and holding water level, as long as I don’t run the cleaner which I can’t anyways because it’s been bypassed. This is the first pool I’ve owned (only been a few months) but it was built in 2016.
Open to any thoughts and suggestions as the repair is a month out, but I’m getting impatient and may tackle it myself
