Final update for this topic. Know it's been a while, but it's taken a long time to get this resolved. Kind of long, but I though I would list the steps I went through to finally solve my issues. I tried all types of listening devices, and finally gave up on that due to a lack of results. I...

Will try this and see what I can hear.

Sorry, the styrofoam didn't really work too well (too much ground noise around pool from passing vehicles and such). What did work much better was using a microphone within a rubber balloon. I found it on another site (pretty much headphones, microphone, receiver, rubber balloon, tubing, and...

I'm back. Due expenses in other areas, the pool leak situation has still not bee resolved. However, I do believe I have some direction. Just want to see if this sounds right. 1. I have screwed plugs into each (4) return and filled the pool above the level of those returns; no/minimal water...

I tried the hydrophone yesterday. Unfortunately it wasn't very precise. I placed it in front of each return, but didn't hear much. Then I placed it inside each return. It did seem that I could hear a trickling type sound on two of them. I plan to put together the stethescope/styrofoam cup...

I will definitely be trying this. My wife is a nurse so I already have the stethescope.

I have seen a diy hydrophone online, and was considering buying the pieces (under $20) to put one together. My thought was to keep each return line plugged, and one at a time unplug one while pushing the hydrophone into the line with some slightly stiff cable (to make it around bends). Not...

**Update** So, this week we refilled the pool and the pool guy came by to plug all the returns. I think we may have found the problem. The water level has dropped the same amount in the bucket as outside the bucket. I have asked them to give me a quote on what it would cost to get it taken...

I guess I am at the point where I plan to just let the pool level drop as far as possible. Will look into the dye pens as soon as it levels off, if it ever does. Saturday I had to put the bucket on the next step due to the water level dropping below that. I marked that level, and it dropped...

My wife and I purchased our home August 31, and as part of the closing the previous owner was required to fix a leak (I noticed a large water loss from one day to the next during a walk through). He paid Hamlin Pools to do a leak test, and they said both skimmers were leaking. Both skimmers...
