  • 2. What methods do you use to detect pool leaks?

    In most cases, draining the pool is not necessary. We use specialized equipment that allows us to detect leaks while the pool is full. However, for certain types of repairs, partial or complete draining may be required.

  • 5. How much water loss is normal for a pool?

    It’s normal for a pool to lose 1/8-1/4 of an inch of water per day on a non heated pool. Heated pools can loose 1/4-1/2 per day. Especially in hot and dry weather. If you’re losing more than this, it could indicate a leak.

  • 6. What should I do if I suspect a leak in my pool?

    If you suspect a leak, the first step is to conduct a simple bucket test to rule out evaporation. Fill a bucket with pool water and place it on a step, then mark the water level inside the bucket and the pool water level outside. After 24 hours, compare the two levels. If the pool water level has dropped more than the bucket water level, you likely have a leak and should call a professional.
