Finally got to do some digging and sure enough it is :evil: termites. A couple pin size holes in each line about 4 feet from the pad. Hopefully these are the only ones - I dug all the way to the pool decking and the last 4 feet are good. Plan is to splice in new line.

A home rigging pressure test description would be great. We do have termites in the yard. Unfortunately it is a common occurrence in the sandy soil of southern Jersey. One of the return lines is about 15' from the pad. Not too bad to dig up the line to the deck and look for problem spots...
