Opened the pool yesterday, and everything seemed okay except a small leak from the top of the sand filter. I shocked and balanced the water, then left at 3pm. When I came back about 7 hours later, the water was barely clearing the skimmer. I quickly turned off the pump, thinking I had narrowly escaped burning it out. Since it was 10pm, I went to bed, resolving to work on the leak today. I was horrified when I woke up this morning and the water was below the returns! It seems to still be dropping, as well. I haven't had any luck getting a pool company to come out, so I'm hoping someone at TFP can help. My questions:
1) Can I stop all the water from leaking out? What do I do? The pump is off, and the water is below the returns. Would turning off the valves on the pump make any difference?
2) Any ideas as to the location of the leak (other than the sand filter dome)?
