Hello,
I have opened our pool Southern Wisconsin and everything seemed to be doing fine. Experienced some water loss pretty heavy (4in) in 48 hours and thought I had a suction side leak. Had the pool off for a few days and the water loss stoped just above the bottom of the skimmers. Filled it up and it’s been fine for the last week and a half. No water loss, no air in pump, no bubbles in returns, everything was perfect. Backwashed yesterday and have had 3 inches of water loss with the filter running. Water loss the first time was the same with pump on and pump off. No other signs of water loss as pump is working perfectly and keeping prime with no bubbles on supply or return side. I have checked the backwash pipe and it’s not leaking as I thought it may be the multi port seal. I have tried the leak dye and nothing on the return sides and I thought there was a possible leak on the supply side due to dye getting sucked in slowly. But with there being no water loss the last week and an half I’m lost. Any thoughts on next steps?
