We depend on our customers to help determine whether the leak is in the pipes or the interior of the pool, to minimize our charges. If you are not interested in doing the tests, we can go over the whole pool.
Are you losing more water with the pool pump off or on? Run the pool pump for say 8, 12 or 24 hours and compare for the same period of time with the pump off. If you lose more water running the pool pump, that typically means the leak is in the return or Polaris lines and you would need a pressure test. If you lose more water with the pool pump off that generally means the leak is in a suction line - the skimmer or main drain line and you would need a pressure test. If you lose at the same rate it is generally in the interior of the pool - light leak, hole in liner or crack in gunite pool and you would need a diver.
Plug the pool lines (be sure to unplug your pool pumps) or just run off the main (if you have one) by shutting off the skimmer valve(s) at the front of pump. Now lets see where your water level goes over the next several days.
At Pool Pro we patch vinyl liner holes and tears as well as repair minor cracks in gunite and fiberglass pools underwater. We don't repair underground pool pipe leaks - We guarantee to find them though, or we don't charge you if we can't. We usually locate the leak within 1 to 2 ft & mark the spot on the ground. We then refer you back to your own company for the repair, you can do the repair yourself or you can use one of the service companies below:
