Hello Everyone, I the new guy to the group.
So...after many years of patching and grinding, I finally got my pool painted. I filled it with water, started to try to get things in order chemical wise...and I noticed that I was losing two inches of water within a matter of a few hrs. So...I filled it up again to the water line and it fell again.
I plugged up the two return lines trying to isolate the skimmer. but it did not seem to work...I didnt tighten the plugs enough and the water leaked just below the return lines.
I now put more water in the pool and really tightened the plugs. Signs point to there being a leak in the skimmer line.
Looking at the position of the skimmer in relationship to the grass, do you good folks think this would be easy to get to?
Pool:
Fiberglass side
Concrete bottom
Painted with epoxy paint
Haward EC75 DE filter
