Pool leaking continues

Well the pool saga continues.  Pool installer finally came out today.  Seems that there is now a crack in the fiberglass, this explains why the water level suddenly went down.  There is still a slow leak in the piping that caused the water level to fall, the lower water level then allowed the fiberglass shell to deform and crack.   

So the crack must be patched first and then they will excavate around the pipes to find the first leak.

Builder now advises that the frame will not be delivered before October 15 so our first delay on the house.

Hi Sean, good luck with finding your leak. Do you have to pay for all this? or is it part of the build. It sounds expensive. I know in Vic it is not easy to get approval to fill a pool. fingers crossed.

In the end the leak turned out to be a crack in the pool. The pool company repaired it at no cost to us. However we lost a lot of time and are unlikely to have the pool paved before Christmas.

Approval to fill pool was easy (the installer took care of this for us) and the cost almost nothing. About $50 for the water used. Criminal really.
