My neighbor, who also has a pool found water under her foundation last week when construction people were adding pillars to her foundation.
To the best of my knowledge I didn't and don't have a leak.
I just completed a 24hr bucket test and did not see any difference between the inside / outside water lines.
I did test the water under her foundation and the Salt reading was about 490 PPM. (Her pool is Chlorine and measure 690 PPM and my pool is salt and at the time was measuring 2900 PPM. Since then i've raised my pool to 3500 PPM).
We are trying to figure out where the leak is coming from.
Tap water from the garden hose was 70 PPM.
So we believe it is pool water due to the high salt content. Not sure if it is definitively from a Salt Pool (mine) or Chlorine Pool (hers) due to the salt reading from the water under her foundation at 490 PPM
She also did a bucket test and thought there was no leak in her pool.
But the water is coming from somewhere. It could be another neighbor's pool too but my pool is next to where the water was found under her foundation (could just be the low point, don't know
Questions
1) How can we tell if the water under her foundation is definitively pool water?
2) If it is pool water, how can we determine if it is from a salt or chlorine pool? How does one account for the water mixing with rainwater in the soil and all the dirt and minerals in the ground? The water under the foundation is a little dirty.
3) Any other ideas/suggestions on how to determine source/cause of water under neighbors foundation?
Thanks
