That would be great; why do you say that? If I'm sure that there's nothing leaking with the valve or the filter, I guess that just leaves the return lines or something I missed in the vinyl? I worry about problems with the suction lines because both times I've closed the pool for the winter...

We've been fighting leaks since year 2 with our pool (currently in year 3) and I'm now suspecting poor winterizing has led to leaks in our suction lines. Current loss rates are approximately: Without pump running: 0.25" per day With pump running 8hr/day: 0.5" - 1" per day With pump running...

Connections are cemented and curing! I need to let it sit for a few hours and then I can turn everything back on. Can't wait! Fingers crossed that everything works smoothly and no leaks!

Thanks again! I've cut off that T-junction and freed the L for re-use. Got a bunch of PVC from the hardware store and I think my plan is Valve -> threaded adapter -> pipe -> union -> pipe -> elbow -> hose which leads to the return jets. That union suggestion was particularly great, as without...

Thanks! I've decided to replace our entire value for two reasons: After an hour of digging at the gasket, I could only get about 1/3 of it off; and apparently the valve handle is supposed to pop back up via the spring :) My assumption is that even if I could get the gasket replaced, the top...

Looks like a problem with the spider gasket: As long as the valve is drawing from the pump's input, a lot of water will leak into the return jets and a small amount will also leak through waste. I can't seem to get the spider gasket off of this housing though... almost as if it's kept in...

We've been fighting what I had assumed was evaporation all summer. I probably should have done a bucket test much sooner, but I confirmed this morning that our pool is leaking water. Symptoms: When our pump is in Filter mode, I can see a steady trickle of water coming out of our waste line...
