Ya they did backfill with sand, but you are correct this area does have a lot of large rocks sitting on top of that plumbing. I’ll send this pic over to the PB to see if they might agree and just break up this concrete area to see if they can find the leak. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the input! Yes, we turned the autofill off for about a week maybe even 2 and used a water hose from another spigot on the other side of the house and we didn’t notice any improvement. Before they repaired the lights we were noticing the leak was getting worse overnight when the...

I’m willing to do anything at this point. We have the leak detection crew coming back out next week so I can make this the next step if they don’t find it. It may take me while to get clear water from the mud but I think it’s totally possible. I agree there’s really no way of knowing how to...

Yes, they pressure tested the lines, but they plan to do it again. I’m hoping I can be home when they come so I can pick their brain and just ask them a ton of questions so I can really understand how this all works. I saw one post where they did a sonar test so I’m wondering if I can convince...

Yes it’s a concrete slab. Sorry, I meant synthetic turf.

This is probably the best pic I have of the plumbing that runs under these concrete pads. Side note..I had no idea how important it would be to get a picture of every single inch of the pool during the build. I’ll definitely be doing that next time around :)

Both are wet. It started on the ground and has moved up to the foundation. I assume the wet ground has caused the concrete slab to get wet. I’ve attached some better pictures in another reply.

Thank you for the request. Pictures attached. If I need a better picture of the equipment please let me know. I’ve turned it all off and on a few times to see if I could spot any small leaks at start up or stopping and I’m just not seeing anything.

I love this idea, but I can’t get a good sample of water. It’s pretty much just damp and muddy and not standing water. I was hoping when they dug down they would find a pool of water somewhere and we could sample that, but all they found was mud. I assume I can’t sample mud? Thanks for the input!

The house has a water line on it from being wet for so long. I assume after an extended period of time having wet ground under my house would cause foundation problems? Idk, that’s just a theory? Eventually we want to add turf between the concrete pads and I also worry so much damp ground would...

Hello, We just had our gunite 10k gal SWG pool put in and filled mid July. Since then we’ve had water on the ground between the house and the pool around the concrete pads we had the PB put down. The PB has seemingly done everything in their power to find the leak, but so far they haven’t found...

Thank you all so much! Update…I did add a lot of stabilizer (not quite as much as I originally posted), as of today I’m at 40. I had no real understanding of how much chlorine was burning off durning the day so the reply’s really helped me. I’ve been able to get my FC up to 6-7 daily so when I...

new pool, just filled it a week and 1/2 ago. Had 8 people over to swim and numbers have never been the same since. I know I can’t shock the pool yet, or turn on the salt so I’m doing the best I can but it seems the CC level is always high. It did get pretty cloudy the day after we had 8 people...

What FAS-DPD test kit did you end up purchasing? My PB is supplying us with the K-1005 test kit, so I know we need to buy this additional test, but will anyone of them work? I was looking at buying K-1517-A. Any input would be helpful. Thanks! Moved from here.

Hello, We had gunite done last week and they used gunite to make the equipment pad. I grabbed a picture early that morning before the gunite was shot so it's possible all thee things I have questions about were done after I took this picture. But I have a few questions just based on this...

TY for all the links and advice Carlos! I read a few of them already, but honestly so much of this is like a foreign langue I don't quite understand yet so all the reading I can do ahead of time helps.

This was all very helpful TY Jim!!

Hello, I've been creeping on this site for awhile reading and absorbing as much information as I can and it's finally time to ask for advice. I have a quote, but I'd love some opinions on what we should change/add/delete. Feel free to give all the newbie advice you have! Pool Dimensions...
