My stupid dog chewed up toilet paper, and it all wound up in the in-ground pool. We cleaned it all out, and checked the filters, and nothing appears to be wrong, ut for some reason the water level in the pool is dropping like crazy, and has only been doing this since the dog got it in the pool? What could be wrong with it? I don't see how toilet paper could be doing anything? Help?

The dog did not go in the pool, so there are no tears in the lining, and the water level is dropping too much for it to just be heat.

Hole in the lining where they clawed to get out.

what kind of surface do you have? a way to trouble shoot the leak is to turn off the filters let the water just drop and where it stops you will be able to find the leak using food coloring around the areas to see where it sucks in at. or to see if the leak is in a pipe plug all fitting in the pool and one by one pull them out until it starts to leak again. or pay a leak detector about 300 to 400 dollars to do the same thing for you. a dog did not do this. and you will need to mark a water line every day to know when it is no longer leaking.

you're top to imagine your water isn't circulating it truly is yet no longer as useful because it ought to on the proper water element protecting the accurate maximum water from skimming. in case your pool is inground, examine your pump plumbing after the pump and commonly before the clear out for a hose bib. even as the pump is on open the bib and water ought to come out. connect your backyard hose to this and drain the pool element to mid skimmer. in case you do not have this then you definately now and again have a hose setting up lower than the rigidity gauge. If no longer then get a submersible pool pump with a discharge hose. it truly is the fastest thanks to eliminate water from a pool yet an effective pump expenditures quite a few hundred money. kit yards employ those. you're welcome!!

Do you have a light in your pool, my co worker had a bad problem with a leak around the light in his pool.

if you did a backwash make sure your handle is fully back in the filter position.on a hayward filter if it isnt down in the little hole it will start a syphon that will go out your backwash line.good luck.
