I think I might have a Leak in my pool, what should I do?

If water levels in the pool seem to drop abruptly, investigate for leaks.  A leaking pool will not only waste water and money but could undermine the foundations of the pool.  If you suspect a leak, turn off the system and use a pencil to mark water lines and monitor the water level.  A leak will either be losing the same amount of water all the time or a leak which causes water loss when the filter system is running.

Being observant is the best way to identify and stop a leak.  Before calling for service, we recommend you do some checks. 

Our DIY checklist -

• Wet areas around the pool - walk around the edge of the pool. Look for wet soil, pavement and eroded areas.
• Plumbing, valves, pipes and joints for Leaks – look for drips as this could waste hundreds of litres per year and adds to your water bill.
• Water Bill – check for increases in your bill.
• Equipment On? Check the waste or backwash line for water running all the time with the filter pump on. The plumbing might be under pressure.
• Equipment Off? Is the pool leaking all the time? Look for cracks, the tile line and inside the skimmer. 
• Pool Lights – check the conduit that runs from the light to the junction box.
