Dug out under the slab and found good pipe but did run into a gnarly root from I was able to hack out, just because ~ refilled hole.

Next guess was this big can light at the end of the pool. Got myself a tube of 5200 boating bond and sealed that sucker up tight – this ended up being the leak.

After a good acid wash I repainted it blue – two thick coats

200 gallons a day? Didn't you notice that part of the yard had turned into swamp?

wouldn't that be an easy way to locate the leak?

No way. 200 gallons a day through that covered hole? Not happening.

it's mostly shell and sand with great drainage - anyway, no, there was no noticeable indication in the yard of where the leak was.

>>1143768
that's just a guesstamit - all I know is that it would go from full to below the jets in three days.

You always check the easy shit first.

It's like those mechanics that start changing $600 worth of parts before I come along and clean the idle control valve for a beer and that solved the problem.
