Done! Thank you for your help.

Thanks so much, @1poolman1. To be clear: The purpose of the pipe extender is to raise the pipe going to the returns so that there is one, straight, horizontal run from the filter to the elbow above the returns - correct?

I'm planning to install a Circupool Edge40 this week and could use some help on wiring and plumbing. Plumbing: We have a simple setup: no heater, no spa, no water features. There is plenty of space to install the unit and the flow switch. The complication is that both the former owner and...

Thanks, Richard and Jason. Yes, there is a main drain, and it's working. The deep water doesn't seem to be any cloudier than the water in other parts of the pool - there's just more cloudy water to look thru to see the deep end. Per your advice, I'm leaving the cover off today. I was waiting...

Thanks for any insight you all can give me on this puzzle. I've had this pool for 11 years, and this is the biggest water problem so far. This winter I didn't lower the water, just left the solar cover on and ran the pump when temperatures got below freezing. I planned to keep some Cl in the...

I ended up calling American Leak Detection here in Charlotte. I found them very professional. They found one large leak and several smaller leaks in the liner; the pipes checked out fine. I would recommend them to anyone in the area with a similar problem.

The rate of water loss was exactly the same with the pump pulling through both the side drain and the main drain as it was when pulling only through the main drain. For the next two hours, we'll test with the pump off.

OK, I ran the pump for 2 hours only pulling through the main drain. I did lose less water during this time (though the leak was still rapid). I've now opened the side drain and will see if in the next two hours the rate of leakage changes.

The speed of the leak today does not vary with the pump being on or off. And, no, there is no leak from the waste port.

I've had a leak in my pool for a while, as discussed in this thread. It has been very inconsistent, making it quite difficult to determine the source. It was leaking in the spring, then didn't leak at all for two months, then was leaking somewhat slowly - then last night began leaking at a very...
