After a replumb and replaster we notice the water level drops about 2" every 4 days even with the cover on and autofill running constantly (it just dribbles of course). It's been about 5 weeks since filling it up.

Is this much water absorbtion by the new plaster typical this long after a remodel or is it something to be concerned about?

This is not water absorption. Your pool is leaking. It is something to be concerned about, Call your contractor. :hammer:
 
PB finally came out today. He used dye and it looks like the leak is around the light recess in the deep end.

He said he would use a sealer around the recess ring. My question is how permenant is this kind of fix? Should I tell him to drain the pool to the light and correct the problem the right way or is using a sealer perminent? What type sealer should they be using?

thanks for the help!
