Hi,
I have a leak in the water return line to my pool that has the jet system on the floor. I have an inground gunite pool. The pool repair person said I have to drain the whole pool in order to repair the leak in that pipe that is up near the pump. He indicated that even with the pump off and all returns closed, the water from the floor will run into the return pipe by the pump area. That sounds logical but I'm just checking to see is anyone knows if that is true and if so, is draining the entire pool the only way to prevent water from the pool to flow into that pipe?
Thank you so much!
