How can I determine if I have a pool leak?

Here some questions you should ask yourself to determine if you have a leak in your pool.

A. Are you losing more than an inch and a half of water per day in your pool?

B. Have you been using more chemicals lately because you can't seem to get the water to balance? If you have a leak in the pool, then the pool will be constantly refilling itself to compensate. Thus the fresh water will never allow for an accurate chemical balancing.

By performing the bucket test on this site you can determine whether you have pool leak or not. If you have any questions or your bucket test proves you have pool leak, you can rely on our experts to promptly diagnose your problem and find a solution that is in your best interest and in the interest of your pool.

What causes a pool to leak?

Sometimes we will find leaks directly from the shell, however more often than not, leaks are found in the fittings or other equipment. Shifting of the ground and tree roots can also cause leaks in the plumbing. Normal wear and tear causes leaks in which parts just wear out. Ninety percent of pool leaks are minor and can be patched using underwater epoxies or sealants.

Do you have to drain my pool to repair the leak?

Absolutely Not! In fact, it is imperative that the pool is completely full for the leak test we perform. We actually determine the nature and location of the leak by listening for it. Utilizing state of the art ultrasonic leak detectors, our expert divers will also dive into the pool to find structural problems.

Does my pool have to be clean to determine a leak problem?

Absolutely! We can not perform the leak test unless the water is clean and clear. We must be able to visually inspect the shell of the pool.

I can't see the water that my pool is leaking. Where does it go?

Quite often, you will never see water from a leak. Unless the leak is located within the equipment, the water will most likely flow right back to the water table.

How much water loss does a pool leak cause?

Under the pressure of 20psi, a 1/16 inch hole, approximately the size of a pin head, will lose nearly 500 gallons every 24 hours. According to local utility providers a 15,000 gallon pool costs approximately $57 per refill. Under this scenario, the above leak could cost an average of $638.40 annually.

Why does my hair turn green after swimming?

The greenish look of your hair is a result of high levels of dissolved copper in the water. The source of copper could be the treatment chemicals being used, usually copper-based algaecides.

What causes my pool water to be cloudy?

Cloudy water may be the result of a number of factors that include improper pH, a dirty filter, or an elevated calcium level. Once pool water has become clouded it may take days or even weeks to completely rectify the problem with repeated chemical treatments.

What is pink algae, and how do you correct the problem?

Pink algae is a bacteria that is not treatable with algaecides. To effectively treat pink algae you must super-chlorinate your pool including the filter and all pool equipment that may be harboring the bacteria and it may require many treatments.

What exactly does stabilizer do?

Stabilizer acts to slow down the evaporation of chlorine from your pool. Adding stabilizer to your pool water will help you maintain the correct level of chlorine and save you money.

Why is my pool green?

A chlorine deficiency and/or lack of circulation will leave your pool green and algae contaminated. Chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid) must be used and the filtration must be permitted to run for at least 6 hours per day during winter, and 8 hours per day in summer.

How long should I run my pool's filter?

In a chlorine pool, the filter should run a minimum of 6 hours per day to keep the water clean. A salt water system should run at least 8 hours per day. This regime will keep your pool clean and produce an ample amount of chlorine throughout the water.
