Hello, team of fellow pool lovers:
I am having an interesting situation where when it rains heavily here in South Florida and the pool water level raises my chemistry comes off the chart. and I found myself having to balance again. Ughhh... makes no sense as I shouldn't be losing Salt levels or CH or CYA. Under normal circumstances, I adjust my FCL, PH, and ALY depending upon what's going on with pool activities. Maybe a bit CYA due to warm pool temps (close to 90 due to South Florida sun and heat), luckily not a lot of crosswind at pool location.
I suspected a leak and I bought a test kit and grab my scuba tank and went all over the main drain, pool light, return jets, etc.
Found nothing... but I noticed as I pay closer attention there is a crack above normal water levels in the tile that I suspect I am losing water (and chemistry) when it rains a lot. what do you guys recommend to use to repair that?
I can't think of other ways I would be losing chemistry only when the water level raises... note: the pool has never overflowed (luckily). So far just a bit higher than skimmer top-level (during sustained rain over without a break)
