Thanks guys... ordered a new rebuild kit.... Amazon told me I bought the same kit in 2019.

Yo! I have a steady leak through my backwash valve. It leaks more when running but dribbles while off. I’ve taken the valve out and re-lubed the o-rings which seemed to help for a couple days. This has been ongoing for a while and I’m wondering what I’m missing? Any help is appreciated.

Good stuff! It is about an inch below the entrance for the skimmers and the water is full in the skimmers. So I am ruling that out. The one time a company did find a leak and fix it, it was in the skimmer throat. I will let it drop and see where it stops... I was doing this a couple weeks ago...

I’ve been fighting leaks Since I’ve owned this pool. Have had multiple companies out and they all say there is a leak, but they can’t find it. My question is this, as you can see in the pic both the spillover spa and po are dropping water at the same level…. The water has dropped be low the...

I did have another quote from a less reputable company and it was a couple grand cheaper.... but I felt better with the quote I posted above. Good information on the plaster being chipped out. I appreciate it. As for the tanning ledge, I never use the spa and it just collects leaves. I have...

Yo, I am looking to have my gunite pool refinished as well as new tile, coping, and my spillover spa turned into a tanning ledge..... also install an LED light. I am wanting some input if this quote is in line with current market costs? I have no experience with this and just for my own peace...

thanks for the information. I will ask him if they checked that.... assuming I have a hydrostatic valve. We are losing twice as much water (3") when we leave the pool off at night.

Is this something that could be detected with a die test?

ahhhhh...... this seems like it could be worth looking into because sometimes the problem just simply goes away for months..... than pops up.

I know they got in the pool a couple times and dye tested the main drain. I dont know about the hydrostatic valve, I dont know what that is. I will take a picture of the backwash setup later. Thanks for your help.

Yes, my backwash runs to a pipe to the front of my house, but there is a valve (like a water hose valve) by the equipment that you can open/close. I opened that to see if any was coming through and nothing..... Pool is inground plaster... roughly 10k gallons. Both leak detection companies have...

Long (3 years) story short, I have had a leak in my pool that is very sporadic.... ill lose up to two inches a day for months than be fine for months. I have had two different leak companies come out and basically throw in the towel. I have a jandy slide valve for my backwash and I was suspect...
