Leak in above ground pool

[Clevelandj77]

I just returned home from a week long vacation. We had lots of rain prior to the trip and for several days while we were gone. On returning home I noticed that the water level had dropped down to just at or just below the skimmer level. I also noticed water forming around the edge of the pool on the pump side. On initial inspection I do not see any obvious tears or holes in the liner. The pool is only a year old, and I have never had any issues until now. The house sitter stated that at one point the water level was almost to the rim and then dropped significantly over the next few days after rain stopped. Can anyone tell me how I go about finding the source of the leak in my pool?? And how I would go about repairing? I just paid off the pool and would hate to have to replace the liner so soon!!! Any advice is much appreciated.

If it is near the pump and dropped to the bottom of the skimmer then I think you could have a plumbing leak. I've been there.

Can you post a picture of the equipment pad and plumbing/hose connections? That may help us trouble shoot your problem.

I filled with water last night and this morning the water level is back down to skimmer level. I am attaching photos but I do not see a leak from the plumbing itself it appears to be traveling g downstream and pooling by the pump.

Is it continuing to drop, or does it stop when it gets to bottom of skimmer? Did you run the pump all night or was it off?
