I live in Chico Ca pretty dry. Plus I have a huge redwood tree that was Probably thirsty

It was wet in the low spots by the filter. I think we found the culprit.

The leak has slowed down it looks like. But let me check when I get home in a couple hours.

Hi, I've added the information that I know..I bought the house a couple months ago (it was a short sale, pool abused). Most of the water I saw (above ground) was on the backside of the light, which made me think it was leaking from the light area, along with the light being loose. There is a...
