Hi!
I've had a leak in my pool for a few months now. Finally gave up and had a leak detection company come out to get it checked out. While they didn't run all the tests possible test that day, they did suggest rerunning my bucket tests to get a more accurate picture before they start other methods that would cost me more money. (diving, spa, etc)
After a few more bucket tests, I've confirmed it's leaking only with the pump on. From my understanding, this should mean it's a pressure-side leak. However, they did pressure test the return line when they came out and the pipes held pressure. Any thoughts on what it could potentially be? Would a bad gasket on the push-pull valve allowing a leak to the backwash be a potential cause here? Hard piped backwash though.
