Re: Pool questions....pump, power usage, how to find a leak?

I just had my pool refurbed and I was running the pump ~ 12 hours a day. It's 1.25 or 1.5hp, don't remember which. Between it and the salt chlorination system, it's tacked on $100 or so to my electric bill, best I can tell.

As for leaks, that's a tough one. It's quite possible that you are losing water in the plumbing. We noticed our water drop an inch over night. A diver went in to the bottom drain and squirted a little ink into the vent with the pool filter off. It was drawn into drain so we know the leak is in that part of the plumbing. He sealed it up and there's no more leak.

With a liner, you have a whole different set of possibilities. But my guess would be a leak in the plumbing or a tear in the liner.
