wow, crazy! I hop it is something that can be fixed, hopefully it is leaking around the main drain and not from the pipe underground.

The diver was just here. He plugged both ends of the main drain and put some putty around the conduit of the light. He checked the entire pool liner. After he was finished, we could hear air escaping from somewhere in the pool house. Hoping that we found the leak, but not feeling too confident at this point. Probably just more money down the drain.

Is your pump running while you hear the air leak?

No it is off. Not enough water to run it again.

Well the diver was here on Saturday. He plugged both ends of the Mai drain and re-puttied around the light. We have lost about 1 1/2 inches of water since doing so. He told me to mark the water level and plug off the returns. will check the water level again tomorrow to see if the returns may also be leaking.
