I’m in the midst of troubleshooting a leak and figured I start a thread to get advice from everyone.
1. I first started to notice their might be a problem as I was seeing the salt level in my pool drop. I just converted to a SWG and this dropping level of salt tipped me off on their might be a problem.
2. I turned off the auto fill, isolated the pool and spa and watched the water levels overnight. The spa level barely changed, the pool dropped 1/2“ in 12 hours.
3. I plugged all my return lines, turned off auto fill, marked both the spa and the pool levels and added a bucket filled with water as an additional indicator. In 12 hours, the spa and bucket dropped about 1/16“, the pool again dropped 1/2”.
So where I stand now, I appear to be loosing about an inch a day. I have no visible leaks around any of the pumps, plumbing or around the pool that I can see. There is no air bubbles in my pump or return lines. Since I’ve isolated the return lines, so I think I can rule them out.
What should I focus on next?
