We obviously have a suction side leak. Has anyone ever tried the FIX-A-LEAK product? http://www.fixaleak.com/pools.html Seems like a good idea if it works.
Bama Rambler said:I'm not making a judgement on whether it will work or not but you'd have to plug off one end of the suction piping (i.e. with a winterizing plug) and configure some way to add pressure to the other end (i.e. a blowout plug).
Also, 48 hours is a long time to go without running your pump so you need to figure some way to circulate the water while it's down.

All that does it bypass the filter. The pump still pulls water thru the suction lines and out the returns. Under what bama suggests, you could not use the filter pump at all. You would need to circulate the water with a submersible pump of some kind.
