We confirmed that we had a slow leak in our pool by way of the bucket test. Our pool guy came and tightened all of our screws but the leak continued so we hired a pool leak repair company but they are busy so we had to schedule for June 14th.

We added water to our pool everyday and then we had a big storm which brought the water up even higher.

Fast forward to two days ago and the leak appears to have stopped. We are no longer losing water as we were before, the yard and sidewalks around the pool are completely dry (they were always wet before).

My question(s) - do we hold off on the leak company until the end of the season? What would make the leak all of a sudden stop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I would cancel the leak guy if the leak does not reappear by June 12th.

They cannot find a leak that is not leaking.
 
Funny thing, Angela, I had a leak that was around the steps where the liner went under the bracket. It slowed down when the water level was high for some reason, but it resumed when water level came back down. I would wait to cancel the leak detection right before the appointment to give you time to see if it re-appears.
