So this is my first time posting on this site. I have a gunite pool that was completed in Sept/2014. I've always had to add water throughout the pool season ever since the pool was completed. I just thought that was normal due to evaporation, etc. I would fill the pool to where it was almost over flowing when I would leave on vacation and by the end of the week my neighbor would be over adding more water to keep half way up tile line. I've done the bucket test and I lose the same amount of water whether pump is on or off over a 24hr period. I've tried closing skimmer line, while using main drain only and running for 24 hrs and I lose same amount of water. I then close main drain and go through skimmer line and same result. Based on this I've been told the leak is in the shell of pool, lights, drains, returns, etc. I called the pool builder and they sent out their pool service company. They plugged all returns, skimmer line and shut off pump, told me to wait 24hrs and call back to let them know if I lost water. Same result, about an inch of water loss! They also said they did a dye test around the lights and didn't detect any leaks. I doubt they took out the lights and checked behind lights though. Would this need to be done to rule out the lights? They are now telling me they may need to have a guy come out in scuba gear to check main drain. I've told the builder that I've always had to add water since it was finished. I've been letting hose run for 35-40 minutes each night for the past two weeks. The pool company doesn't seem too concerned about it.. Do I pay the $399 and have a leak detection company come out. I know I'm rambling on here! I can upload pictures of pool if that helps. I would appreciate any advice from the forum!
