Its only been a couple weeks since the leak in our attached spa was fixed (leaking around the drain), and it took them 6 weeks to finally find and fix it.
Now my pool lost an inch in 24 hrs. I did the bucket test overnight and it lost about 1/2". I did a dye leak test around the skimmer and return ports. One of the return ports sucked up the dye, so hopefully the leak detection guy the PB uses will be able to find this leak as quickly as I. Unfortunately, out of the 3 returns in the pool, this is the one where the pipe runs under the entire deck. The others can be accessed without removing concrete deck.
What is the most likely cause? Could it be where the 2" return line steps down to the 1.5" pipe that goes through the pool wall? Are these types of leaks easy to fix, or will it involve removing concrete deck? Our pool deck is an overpour, so it is going to be interesting. Based on how slowly my PB reacts, I can see this cutting into a good portion of the summer swim season.
