Gunnite pool or is it a liner?

gunnite. It about 6 years old.

Hopefully i get a good one. I have a call in to them. At least now i know why my water bill was $500 last month.

I just hope its an easy pipe fix and I don't have to tear up the deck. I think i'll probably go ahead and put the heat pump at the same time.

Well that’s my nightmare fuel until they come out lol.

$3000 is not bad at a all. You around Baton Rouge by chance? Ive got to do some work on my deck. The neighbors cypress knees are killing me.

Also, after dealing with pool leaks for years, I wish there was an option for running the pipe in concrete duct bank or something like that. Where all you had to do was lift a slab of deck off to access the pipe.

I was in a rental house for about three years. Waiting for my new home to be built. They had a pool there that was about 20 years old. We had two different leaks there over that period. The guys came out with a sonar equipment and dropped a transducer down near any place, where a spout or drain was, and easily found the leaks. They basically just listen for it through a headphones


Both times we had leaks. It was where a jet comes through the wall. Those guys told me that it's about 95% of the pool leaks.

Turn everything off and let it all settle down. Get some dark food coloring and a syringe. Check every single penetration.

Especially the seems between the skimmers and pool.

Mine ended up being the filler itself.
