This season we seem to be losing more water than usual, about 1/2” per day. I did a bucket test, and after 24hrs the pool water level was was 1/4” lower than the bucket water level. After 38 hrs the difference increased to 1/2”.
I know the past few seasons we’ve had a slow leak, about 1.5” per month, but was never able to find it (I tried the dye test without any luck). I figured it was so slow, it wasn’t worth pursuing any further. Now it seems the leak has gotten worse, or it’s a new one.
I don’t see any evidence of a leak around the equipment pad.
Is it bad enough to be worth hiring a leak detection company? If so, how do I go about getting a good one?
