Rock wall waterfall pool11/20/2023 I did order some of the green leak detection liquid. It might take alot of time and I may have to do it over several days or weeks. If not, I"d then take the hose and start looking for the leaking spots. I was actually thinking that the next time I need to top the water off, I'd stick the hose into slits in the waterfall basin output and fill up the waterfall basin slowly and see if water drains out the back. You are thinking the same thing as I was. So, are the Jandy valves not able to block 100% of the water flow? Or do they allow the water to be "sucked" back through to the return ports at the valves? ![]() The output from my filter goes to a motorized jandy valve so will direct 100% of the output to either 2 return ports or the waterfall.Īfter the motorized valve to the waterfall, there is then jandy valve that you can shut.Įven with the motorized AND jandy valve, the watefall basin still drains. The rock thing is about 10' from the pool along a barrier wall. One has a small grate on it.ġ rock thing where water comes out and then back into a drain. I have 3 skimmers and all 3 of them have 2 holes at the bottom. My first question, is if the receding water inside the pipe is normal? Is there a slow drain that brings water back into the pool maybe to keep the pipes clear so that if it freezes, there will be no or little standing water? Inside the pipe slit, I can see the water slowly recede inside the pipe. Today, I ran the waterfall then stopped it after a few minutes. There is a drain port in the back and it is leaking upstream from the drain port. The Pipe is joined to the rocks with a foam type insulation material which in some areas I can already see have deteriorated.Īfter running the waterfall even for minutes, I can see water on the back side of the wall where it goes down hill. The pipes have a slit at the top where the water comes out then onto the rocks. The valve will redirect the output from the pump system instead of going to the return ports, to the waterfall. I'd like to first see if its leaking from: ![]() I"m looking for tips on troubleshooting where its leaking. It can drop an inch in a few hours of use. We purchased house a year ago and after we opened the pool (after closing) we noticed the waterfall leaks water.
