Do you find yourself constantly adding water to your pool? If so, you may have a leak, which calls for professional leak detection from a trained plumbing technician. As plumbers from Waialae Plumbing & Construction, based in Honolulu, HI, our team will help you determine whether a pool is leaking and offer solutions to rectify the issue. The following are a few factors to keep in mind if you suspect your pool has sprung a leak.

Wet Spots Around the Pool

If you frequently notice wet spots or areas where grass is growing irregularly, it may mean that your pool might have a leak. It could be in the plumbing, light, or structure of the pool. If you have a vinyl liner, it may have developed a tear or puncture, allowing the water to leak thru. 

Water Stabilization

Leak DetectionIf you have a leak, water may stabilize at a certain level. This can be a guide to where the leak is occurring depending on where the water level stops. For instance, if the water stops at a pool light or other piece of equipment, it might be an indication that the source of the leak may be relative to that part of the system. You can also look for debris stuck within the walls of the pool, which occurs when the force of the leak pulls the contents towards the leak.

Leaking When the Equipment Is On or Off

Your pool may only leak when the equipment is on or off. In this instance, there could be an issue with the pool’s plumbing, like within the suction pipes that carry water from the pool. If you notice leaks while the equipment is on, it’s usually a matter of a plumbing return leak due to increased pressure.
