Thanks, everyone. I went ahead and ordered the "union diamond seal" from Leslie's and will see how it goes (picture attached). If that doesn't fix the leak then I'll try the regular o-ring.

Heya Dirk, thanks for the shoutout, lol. I was following your comments because I can't get my autofill valve to shut off completely so was researching how to get a replacement. Unfortunately, I'm not the original owner so as far as I can tell, the valve has always been just a plain fluidmaster...

Hi @1poolman1 I have the same issue as the OP, just with the higher up pipe (inflow). I searched inyopools for this part number but nothing comes up. Is there someplace else I can find it? Inyopools has this "union diamond seal" part listed. Is it the same thing as the O ring? Pentair...

Thanks so much everyone. I will update with a picture after I've done the patch. Going to make a donation right now because I appreciate this forum so much :-)

Something I never knew and would not have expected! I always assumed evaporation would be the worst in July/August. Feel like I'm back in 7th grade science, lol. A pool cover is on the list now, for that reason, and because of our water situation here. My water bills the highest it's been...

Thank-you, all, for your valuable input! I will definitely dig into my files this coming weekend and see what I can find as far as the orig PB. My recall is that all the last owner (think I'm #3 or 4?) was able to give me were some brochures, one of which was about pebble tec, so that's how I...

Welp, I learned that water really does evaporate quite a bit at night! I did my test Sunday 5 p.m. to Monday 5 p.m., shutting off my pool pump for the entire time, and it looks like a loss of approximately 1/4" for both pool and bucket. Like you said, though, probably not 100% accurate. So...

Thanks so much for the reply! After googling some of the terms used, I understand what you're saying. Bummer. Well, I'll start with the old bucket test to confirm and then move on from there I guess. I appreciate your help!

My auto-fill is actually dead at the moment (no water or sound and the water meter out front doesn't move at all) so fingers crossed that you're right and it's just evaporation. (But I do have another post up right now re a crack in my pebble tec that could be causing a leak also, ugh.) Bad...

Hello fellow TFP'ers! Please share your expertise or experience. I have a crack in my pebble tec, on the entry ledge by the steps, that has slowly widened over the past 5 years. Current pictures are attached, with a quarter for scale. I searched this forum a few years ago and it seemed like...

Hi, can you please update with any new findings once you get them? I'm also in Vegas (NW) and have been having the same "issue" with water loss (quotes because I don't know if it's actually a problem). Since last Sunday, so over 5 days, I've lost 1.25 inches of water, which seems really high...

Hi, I know this thread is old but I'm just looking into doing this now. Just to clarify, is that "sand" or "salt?" Also, do you mind sharing the ballpark cost? I got a quote recently for my 7.5k gal pool of $750 (waterline and short waterfall). I'm in Vegas.

So, in the middle of 110 degree Las Vegas weather, my Sta-Rite 3 (S7M120) (prob. 15 years old?) has sprung a leak in the top half of the unit. I checked InyoPools and a replacement part will run over $500 anyway, so I am thinking that now might be a good time to just go ahead and swap out the...

Wow, thanks for the quick help, guys! Here's a wider shot. And the handle is in the correct position here, I think? Bigger picture (pun intended), it probably doesn't matter because I'm 90% sure I'm just going to scrap the whole system. There are 2 leaks that I know of, 1 of which is a...

Hi, I have a leak from my solar panels and have been trying to shut off the water flow to the roof, but despite pointing the "OFF" part of the Jandy valve (?) towards the pipe that leads up to the roof, water is still flowing/leaking. Can someone help confirm that the "OFF" is supposed to be...
