Is someone stealing my pool water?
 

No joke, have a neighbor who put in an above ground pool. Twice now, over night, my pool loses 2ft of water.

A leak would make sense if it was happening frequently and often... This is just two random times.

The first time I noticed it I looked over and his pool was full. This time, I look over, and its somewhat empty (some water) as if maybe he used my water to clean his pool?? I am thinking ill be getting a camera set up today.

EDIT: Update 24+ hours later, nothing yet.... He might think I am onto him... I'll give it a few days, regardless the camera is up and running.

Do you live in an area that has water use restrictions?

Following this thread closely.

Sounds like a Rainman thread.

I think he may be the only person who can help you.

Moving 2 ft of water isn't inconsequential. Unless yours is significantly higher, he'd need to be using a pump to move it, and it would take a fair amount of time. Just doesn't seem like something someone could do covertly.

Global Warming.

Your water must be better..

Tbh my dog was barking late last night and I did think I had heard something in the backyard. My pool is a good 10ft and his pool is probably a good 20ft away from mine.. I’m thinking he could be throwing a pump over at night?

I'm just trying to figure out the motive here. Water isn't free, sure, but it's not exactly a premium resource. :shrug:

Exactly what I was thinking. It seems like a lot of work, and possible problems for someone to go through for water...

Maybe I'm just being paranoid. We will see

I'm on it.

First question. Do you by chance own an alligator, triplethreat?

Per DaFace's comment, if your pool is higher it would be easy for him to start a siphon process, and it would be silent unless your alligator caught him reaching into the pool to place it.

But yeah, what's the motive here?

Maybe his neighbor is an alchemist and is turning that water into gold.

if you can afford the pool...

The motive? To have water in his pool ROFL

I am curious if hes throwing it over, or is this dude hopping into my yard? Both are big no no's.

Like I said maybe I am being paranoid, but I don't remember a time ever before this guy installing a pool that I lose 2ft of water over night, and its happened twice since he installed it.

How badly have you been yearning for a thread like this?
