Good evening! My pool has looked spectacular since getting my TF-Pro salt kit a few months ago and learning all there is to know (and still learning) on this forum. All you pros are great and have taught me a lot!
I did a bucket test a week or so ago and definitely have a leak. The builder has been an absolute jerk about the possibility of a leak since I notified him. The pool is 9 months old and still under warranty. We live 20 minutes east of Dallas, TX and the sun is not very forgiving LOL! We have to add water to the pool daily…generally around 30-45 minutes of steady hose water.
The builder finally sent out someone today and they stated the skimmer housing was not glued or sealed at all at one of the couplings. They will come back Monday with their materials to fix it. He said it needed silicone around it. They were a bit hard to understand due to being Hispanic, even though I can speak Spanish to a degree (mostly medical Spanish). Really hoping this fixes things.
Is there anything I’m missing as far as what to ask? I’ve really had to stay on top of things with this builder from the beginning. Definitely peeved about the whole ordeal. When they come out Monday, they will be draining the pool to just below the skimmer to do their work. Not sure how long it will take the beads of silicone to dry but obviously the pump will be off. Anything I should do that morning to ensure the pool doesn’t go sideways on me?
As always, thanks for any feedback you can provide.
