My pool lost 1/4" of water in 24 hours, and since Ive suspected it was leaking, this is pretty good confirmation Im correct!
I have 2 suction side inlets (one skimmer, one main drain) and 2 returns. I sealed off the returns and the skimmer, but obviously its almost impossible to seal off the main drain. With 3 of the 4 ports sealed off, the pool lost 1/4" of water in 24 hours.
So its either the liner or the main drain. I do NOT get any air in the suction or return sides with the filter running, but I suppose there is a small chance the water can be trickling out of the main drain pipe with the system off, but the leak might seal itself with the system on.
Does anyone have any suggestions on narrowing down liner vs main drain? The only way I can think of to seal the main drain is to send in a diver, but at that point I can have the diver search the liner for a leak too.
Thanks in advance.
