Okay, where to start...I have noticed over the past few days that my pool is losing water more quickly than usual. When I came home today, the pump had lost prime and the water level had gotten down below the skimmers. I also noticed that part of the back yard was saturated and had some standing water.
Anyway, long story short, I poked around and found the spot where water is coming up from the ground. In an effort to isolate the problem, I closed the valves for the waterfall, skimmers and main drain one valve at a time but the water never stopped coming up. This would lead me to believe the leak is on the return side, right? I posted HERE a while back about my pump always losing prime and air bubbles in the pot. I would imagine this is my culprit and has just progressively gotten worse over the last couple of months.
So, any advice? How deep are the pipes typically buried? I plan to come home tomorrow and start digging around the area where the water is coming up from the ground.
