A swimming pool leak detection is broken into 2 basic processes:
Testing for leaks in the plumbing and testing for leaks in the structure (the swimming pool itself).
We use state-of-the-art, noninvasive equipment to locate leaks in the plumbing lines and/or at the equipment, and use a specially formulated dye to locate leaks in/at the structure.
Repairing leaks is an important part of maintaining the investment you’ve made in your swimming pool.
A swimming pool leak can increase your maintenance costs in at least 2 ways:
You’re continually adding water to compensate for the water loss.
You’re continually adding chemicals to the diluted water.
Over time, unrepaired leaks can cause damage to the pool itself, the equipment and/or surrounding landscape. A single pool leak, if not repaired timely, can even lead to additional leaks resulting in additional costs for water, chemicals and repairs.
Some water loss is expected and normal. Evaporation, wind and splashing can cause up to ¼’’ to ½’’ loss of water per day in the summertime and ⅛’’ to ¼’’ per day in the winter.
Be aware if:
The bucket list
** Do not use the pool for 24 hours **
After 24 hours, compare the two water levels: has the water in the pool gone down more than the water in the bucket?
Yes – your pool probably has a leak.
No – your pool probably does not have a leak; water loss is due to normal pool conditions/activities.
