I'm losing about an inch a day in my inground pool. I picked up some FIX-A-LEAK Solution to try - but realized I cannot use unless my pool pipes permit a "RECIRCULATE" only option. I don't seem to have this but do have a water feature off of the Returns that Am wondering if this would be the same thing? I attached a few photos.. as don't want to run this throught the Sand Filter (Not suppose to) to see if I can remedy any underground minor leak? Any ideas/Feedback. Can you advise about using this and if the PIPING appears to offer a RECIRCULATE Option by turning on the FEATURE?

Welcome to TFP.

You have no way to bypass your sand filter.

Do NOT use Fix-A-Leak.

What have you done to identify where the leak is?
