Found our first "dumb leak" of the year this week. 25 holes in the shallow end of a final pool with a new liner. Cause-the grandkids were really cute sitting in the pool on the metal patio chairs.

two of mine get the oscar this year. guy who was practicing for hunting season with a bow lost an arrow. you guessed it, right in the side of the pool. Said he could not find it. no kidding, its in the side of you pool covered by the scrubs along the perimeter of your pool. 12 thousand gallon loss of water for a five dollar arrow. people dont think of their pools in the winter in the north east until its time to open them.

second and runner up is for an above ground pool owner with a rapid loss of water. Dove the pool to find 18 semi crescent holes which are perfectly circular. when the owner of the pool lowered the aluminum shaft for the skimmer into the pool and it matched. well, lets just say the kids could not dispute that one.

"Dove the pool to find 18 semi crescent holes" I like to call 'em smilies!! They certainly make me smile every time I find one!
