Hi,
My small concrete pool (2x3m) was constructed just 6 months ago and in the very beginning the water level went down about 1 cm per day. We got into a fight with the irresponsible pool company because of the leak and other issues so we just let it be at first. After a few months use the pool started leaking at a rate of 4 cm per day. We always saw water outside of the pool light area so we were pretty sure the problem was there. Now the pool has been empty for about a month and we got a plumber to seal the pool lighting are better.
So yesterday I filled the pool and now the water level had gone down 5 cm in 10 hours that would be 12 cm per day. I have no idea what’s going on but that's about 500 liters of water flowing out of somewhere in one day (my pool 120cm deep and 5 cubic meters).
Of course I now have to hire another pool company to find out where the leak is. I'm just worried that if it's for example one of the main pipes under the concrete structure then the job would be big and expensive.
Any ideas on cases like this? What could be causing a leak of this scale? There is no visible leakage anywhere either so that 500 liters must be going somewhere under ground.
