Leaks, like anomalies in program execution never &#8220;go away&#8221;. We had not lost any water in the pool from when I opened it until last Sunday. I was getting nervous because as it gets closer to pool closing time, I knew that if I closed it without finding the cause of last year&#8217;s water loss, it would happen again. Last Sunday evening the Aylaians came over for a swim and the girls did a lot of diving (and churning up the water). Sure enough, starting Monday morning, we were losing more than an inch a day. It has been hot and very humid so it was not evaporation loss. Finally Thursday morning early (about 6) I was letting the cat out and decided to go look because the level was so low. As I just walked around the edge, I saw the slit. It was about 1&#8243; long and when I rubbed it with the brush, I got sand plumes. I got the patch on as soon as I got back from VBS. Water loss has stopped.<br \/>\n(A few of the pics have the patched slit circled. )<br \/>\n<embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/bin\/slideshow.swf\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" flashvars=\"host=picasaweb.google.com&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feat=flashalbum&#038;RGB=0x000000&#038;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fcacmmcis%2Falbumid%2F5372479798924915137%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCLud55-xg4CexwE%26hl%3Den_US\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\"><\/embed><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was getting a little nervous.
