See the pipe going into the sand after the heater? I'm getting water around it and suspect a fitting is leaking. I'm hopeful the leak is not under the concrete and I can repair it.
If I have a leak under the concrete, is there a method to replace the pipe under the concrete that doesn't involve a concrete saw and a lot of dust (e.g. lining it)?  |
There are leak repair specialists that add liners but I probably would not. If the equipment is below the water level in the pool and you are only seeing dampness I would ignore it. You are not losing much water at that leak. If you see spraying/puddling it needs to be fixed because it will begin to hollow out around the plumbing. Residual heat from your Series One heater probably deformed that fitting as well.
If it were mine I would just bust the concrete around the pipe and replumb. It will go faster than you think and you will get good exercise in the process. A concrete chisel and a 3lb sledge would make short work of that replumb job.
