Pool build complete late Feb. Immediate wetspot near skimmers and main drain. Here we are in October... still no root cause. We've had 3 leak detections. Plumbers. Geologist. Irrigation. All don't seem to find the source of the water. We all thought water table, but geologist found none. Pressure is good. We have an autofill, spa, and gutters are tied into drainage. My guess is it has something to do with whatever is not under pressure. Have 4th leak detection this week and they are bringing out listening devices.

That's crazy. With all those so called experts, you would think they found it by now. Let us know what number 4 finds..... if anything.

Do take a moment to update your signature with all of your pool and equipment info. See my sig as an example. That along with some pics and we might have more ideas.
There’s a few things you can do yourself if you’de like.
Turn off the auto fill and do a bucket test to confirm if the water is coming from the pool.
Turn off the pump and your auto fill and put plugs in all the return jets and skimmers, and even the main drain if possible, then redo the bucket test. If you lose less water, you can remove the plugs one by one to see line causes the water to start dropping again.
