Pool Leak Detection and Repair: The Main Causes

A decrease in water level is normal in any pool due to evaporation, especially in summer. However, when the loss is excessive or constant, it’s likely a leak that requires repair. Detecting a leak early saves water consumption and also prevents greater financial risks, such as more costly repairs in the future.

How to tell if your pool has a leak?

The most common signs are:

• Continuous drop in water level.
• Needing to refill the pool more often than usual.
• Wet areas or sinkholes around the pool shell.
• Increased water consumption.
• Appearance of visible cracks or fissures.
• Pressure problems in the filtration system.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s advisable to have an inspection to determine the source of the problem.
