Pool Leaking? We do NOT recommend letting the pool leak down to where it levels out. This can cause damage, expensive repairs and frequently leads to incorrect assumptions. Do not compare your pool water loss to any other pool. Pool’s vary greatly, even your neighbors! |
How to save money if you think you have a leak: |
|
Do not let your pump run dry! This will cause expensive equipment repairs! |
|
Do not shut your pool down. Maintain cleanliness and chemicals. |
|
Check for leakage/water around your equipment when running. It may be something simple or easy to fix without the need for a leak detection! |
|
Run a Bucket Test – verify you actually have a leak! |
|
If you still believe there’s a leak problem, call Mac Pools. |
Anything more than an occasional drip at the equipment should be addressed. |
To prepare for a leak detection: Pool or Spa needs to be filled, clear, clean, and vacuumed if you have a vinyl liner pool. |
FYI – Don’t be concerned about a loose light. Typically, your pool has a light assembly held inside a light niche with one screw. The light niche is designed to be filled with water which keeps the light assembly cool when in use. If there is water inside your light assembly, this is an entirely different problem that should be addressed. |
