You Think You Have A Leak, What Can You Do?

Don’t Panic, first of all do you actually have a leak? It might be obvious, or it might not. If it is not, there could be a number of other reasons for a water loss. The main two are SUN & FUN

Let me explain…

Having fun in your pool 1) The SUN – Evaporates the water away.

2) Having FUN – Splashes the water away.

A Test To See If It Is Evaporation

Hold on now, this is a long one…….

1	Place a container on the top step of the pool ladder,
2	Fill it with water to the level of the pool,
3	Leave for 48 hours, with no one allowed in the pool, Sorry,
4	If water loss in the pool is due to evaporation, then the water level in the container will be very similar to the pool
5	If you have a leak the water level in the container will be higher than the pool.

OK, I Have A Leak, What Do I Do Know?

Firstly, look near the pump and filter, check the pipes. This is a common place for water loss.

Its not the Pipes. What else could it be?

The Shell (walls and floor) of the pool. If you have an Above ground pool, this will be easy to spot and repair. Unfortunately if you have a Below ground pool it is much harder to spot. I advise getting a qualified professional to come and have a look.

BUT REMEMBER shop around and get lots of quotes, ask for references, until you find a company you are happy with.
