FIRST AND FOREMOST IS TO CHECK THE BACKWASH LINE IF POOL HAS ONE. WATER FLOWING OUT OF IT MEANS THE SPIDER GASKET NEEDS REPLACED, OR IF PUSH/PULL VALVE, MAYBE THE O-RINGS NEED REPLACED. WE MONITOR ANY LEAKING POOL BY FILLING POOL TO NORMAL WATER LEVEL AND MARK THE WATER LINE WITH A MARKER OR PENCIL AND WITH THE PUMP RUNNING CHECK IT IN 24 HRS TO SEE HOW FAR THE LEVEL DROPPED. REFILL POOL TO NORMAL LEVEL AND RE-MARK LEVEL AND KEEP PUMP OFF FOR TWENTY FOUR HOURS. SEE THE AMOUNT OF WATER LOSS. IF LOSS IS GREATER WITH PUMP ON, MORE THAN LIKELY IT IS IN THE Plumbing LINES. IF LOSS IS MORE WITH PUMP OFF IT IS LIKELY TO BE IN THE STRUCTURE SOMEWHERE. NOW TURN MOTOR OFF TO POOL AND LET WATER COME TO REST. ARE THERE VISIBLE CRACKS IN THE POOL? IF SO, SQUIRT PHENOL RED NEAR THE CRACKS AND IF SUCKS IT INTO CRACK THAT MIGHT BE IT. SQUIRT PHENOL RED AT ALL INLETS, RETURNS, SKIMMERS, MAIN DRAINS, AND FINALLY ALL AROUND THE LIGHT. WHEN SQUIRTING PHENOL RED DO NOT LET WATER SUCK BACK INTO BOTTLE, IT WEAKENS THE COLOR. HOPE THIS HELPS, SKIP DAUB SUNCO POOL COMPANY MYRTLE BEACH,SC
