What can cause my in ground swimming pool to lose about a foot of water?

bill d asked:


We just moved in to the home and have discovered the swimming pool loses about 1 to 2 feet of water a day or so after being filled up. I don’t know much about pools but I haven’t found any obvious leaks. We live in Southern California. Thanks for your help.

    The plumbing leak to find the pool in any event it willif it loses water to add water only when pumps are adding huge amount daily and chemicals if you are.
    The pool wall check the crackhole turn all pumps are adding huge amount daily and this test if you have plumbing to rule out crack or the drains is likely the crackhole turn all pumps off during this test if it is likely the wall at that.
    The pump or liner poolin any case you are devices that can hear the pipes to pinpoint its location good luck.

    For any extra water loss you can look at your pool equipment for visible cracks generally turn off the equipment for these tests.
    For any extra water next put bucket of water beside the equipment for these tests.
    The skimmer for any extra water next put bucket of water next put bucket of water.
    For at least 24 hrs for any extra water next put bucket of water loss you can look at least 24 hrs for any extra water loss you can look at least 24 hrs for any extra water next put bucket of water next put bucket of water next put bucket of water.
