we have noticed greater than usual water loss the past couple weeks and the water would eventually settle around the bottom of the skimmer opening. I took a look today and saw these hairline cracks where it looks like some sort of seam is separating. both skimmers are doing this. is this superficial or do we have a genuine leak here. yard shows no sign of excess moisture. sorry for the photo quality and debris.
are these cracks in my skimmer

Not a crack, just the skimmer support ring.
You can use food coloring in a baby syringe to test for leaks by squirting the dye near the crack to see if it gets sucked in.
Most pharmacies will give you a syringe for free or about $1.00.

Thanks. I'll try that. I just wasn't sure if visible cracks like that were indicative of a problem.Not a crack, just the skimmer support ring.
