Hoping to get some help with a possible leak.
Pool was re-plastered 3 weeks ago and started to notice water was dropping faster than usual. Also to consider we started using the Polaris cleaner we had not used before.
The pool guy said that maybe the Polaris line had a leak that was made worse under pressure now that we started using it.
We plugged the polaris outlet in the pool but are still having passive water going through the booster and down to the plugged end.
5/16 - 5/17 pump off bucket test:
Pool lost 1/2 inch and bucket lost 3/8 inch. resulting in possible 1/8 leak.
(checked in the morning and bucket had no noticeable change, but pool water was slightly lower)
Next test is with pump running for about 10 hrs. few hours now to inject chlorine and a normal 8 hour run tomorrow.
If it turns out to be 1/8 inch leak is it worth hiring someone to do leak detection? (quoted $425)
Thanks
