Let's find the source
Leak detection is a tricky business. It starts with an annoying voice in your head ("Didn't you just add water to the pool?") and ends with some kind of fix, be that a liner repair, new pool liner, pipe repair or new equipment. In between is a little guesswork, an experiment or two, and maybe a visit from a professional leak detection service.
It may sound like a hassle. But a little investment of time and money now to fix the problem could save you big bucks in pool repairs and unnecessary landscaping later. The leak detection quiz is a fast and easy way to get started.
Common signs your pool is leaking
Is your pool liner the problem?
Any spot that comes in regular contact with water is a potential source of a pool leak. The liner is the obvious choice, but lights, underground lines, backwash lines, underground connections and fittings, in-pool steps, faceplates and drains are all common sources of pool leaks. Answer the questions in the assessment on this page to help you narrow down the cause!
