Hello,
I have a pretty large pool leak under my concrete. I have read many of the threads on this site about cutting concrete.
I'm thinking of getting a diamond blade for my circular saw and trying to take a square out of the concrete to get to the broken pipe.
Please, look at the video and give any advice you can.
If you can determine what kind of pipe it is, that would be nice, too.
I tried shutting off the skimmers one by one to see is the leak lessened, but it did not.
I started at the end of last year, before winterizing. We thought we would deal with it in the Spring. When we opened, it was not leaking. The loud noise if makes was gone, right after we opened. About a month later, it started again. That was really strange. I wondered it debris got into the leak and closed it off for a time. I know this is very odd, seeing as how loud and obvious the leak is, but it really did stop for a time. I hoped it was a miracle, but I guess it wasn't. Even the pool guy that opened the pool could not believe it. He heard it last fall and did not hear it in the Spring.
Please, watch this video of the leak and give advice.
