Do you mean where the pump and filter are? I wear shoes when I am in that area. It’s not the patio. It’s on the side of the house and it’s not really on a slab like it should be. It’s a hot mess. As I was vacuuming the water started to leak considerably. But this time it was due to the gasket...

Latest update: Took a water sample in for an analysis and it came back light years better than anticipated. But yall please be the judges of that in your expertise. Have attached the report. One thing I’ve noticed is that there’s consistent algae buildup on the sides of the pool. But now that...

To anyone brave enough to still be reading this far into this drawn out post, I went ahead and opened the filter to clean out all the grids, cause I didn't know until last night (in research) that if the psi was too high, cleaning the filter grids would likely lower it. Well, I did just that...

I have a video too but dunno how to upload it.

I have a leak detection guy coming out this Friday. I changed the spider gasket in the mpv two days ago and ran the pump yesterday and this morning. On my lunch break today, I went home and my water level went down again after refilling it last night to attempt shocking and cleaning the pool...

After putting the issue on hold for a couple of weeks, I'm back on the drawing board. I attempted my own leak test with dye colorant and a syringe, but nothing around the suspected area (skimmer) was sucked in when I dispensed some dye out. I'm not sure what to do next. Would it even be worth...

Yea, so I'm not really sure what to do next. My former pool cleaner came by later that day this past Friday to bring me some new grids for my DE filter and showed me how to do a leak test using color dyes and that's what I'll be trying out later today. But after that, I'm not sure what to do...

They just left after being here for 3 hours. They didn’t do Jack Darn. I’m beyond frustrated for having wasted $500 for them to basically retract about 2ft of liner. They cut a pvc pipe around the pump so they could attach a pressure reader they had but they couldn’t seal one of the two return...

Well…they came out this morning and resealed the liner and pumped out the water. The guy told me that he didn’t know what the source of the water was… Fast forward to this evening before sunset as I was about to clean the pool filter, to my extreme disappointment, the pool was swelling in the...

Thank you for your guidance. This forum is AMAZING. I'm very grateful for finding it.

Yes, definitely with the giant belt buckle....ALWAYS with the giant belt buckle and a 10 ton hammer. Maybe you're right about how the water got in...maybe it is in fact from patio runoff/rainwater. It's just never happened before but I guess maybe the liner has slowly been coming off...

The rain just came down like only Houston rain does….i covered the larger opening with a pool floater/lounger and put a small piece of wood over it to keep it in place so rain wouldn’t just pour into it from the sky.

That, we will. I will keep you updated once they come out, which they won't be able to do until mid next week unless I find someone else to come out sooner for the same price or lower.

I went home on my lunch break a few hours ago and noticed the water height has held up well. I think if it's a liner leak that it probably happened through the skimmer, as the screws holding the skimmer plate in place appear rusted and some turn but don't tighten. I was able to tighten 3 of...

Thank you very much for sharing that link. I don't notice the lip in the tracking area itself that lends itself to "zippering" or holding the liner in place, but part of it locked back in when I folded the liner at the top to shimmy it back into the track before putting some of that liner lock...

I am pretty sure that it's not runoff from the patio. It hadn't rained before noticing this issue. The liner also hasn't been fully pulled out like in the pic for very long and it wasn't completely open like in the picture when I noticed the water lodged in it. I also don't think a non...

Somebody quoted me $500 to pump out the water from where it is between the liner and wall and to reattach the parts of the liner that have come off track. Does this sound reasonable?

I bought my current house about 1.5 years ago and haven't had many issues with the liner until now. Yesterday, I noticed that there is ground water between the liner and the pool wall in various areas of the pool. I made a successful attempt at retracking with liner lock, a large area that...
