Is your Commercial Pool Leaking? Here are some tell tale signs that you need to call Patriot to deal with your commercial property pool leak FAST.
- Water Level: Monitor the water level of your pool regularly. If you notice a consistent decrease in water level over a few days or weeks, it could indicate a leak.
- Bucket Test: Perform a bucket test to determine if the water loss is due to evaporation or a leak. Fill a bucket with water and place it on the pool step or bench, ensuring the water level inside the bucket matches the pool level. Mark both the pool and bucket water levels. After 24 hours, compare the water loss in the bucket to the pool. If the pool water level has dropped significantly more than the bucket, it suggests a leak.
- Check for Wet Areas: Inspect the area around the pool for wet or soggy spots, especially in the ground or on the pool deck. Leaks can cause water to seep into the surrounding areas.
- Equipment Pad: Examine the pool equipment pad for any signs of water leakage, such as wet or damp spots, water pooling, or unusually high water pressure in the filter system.
- Check for Air Bubbles: Observe the return jets in the pool while the pump is running. If you notice a significant amount of air bubbles, it could indicate a leak in the suction side of the plumbing system.
- Plumbing Leaks: Inspect the plumbing lines for any visible leaks, such as dripping or spraying water, near the pool equipment or along the pipe runs.
- Cracked Liner or Tile Damage: Check the pool liner or tiles for any visible cracks, tears, or damage. These could be potential areas where water is escaping.
- Automatic Fill Device: If your pool has an automatic fill device, ensure it is not constantly running, as it could indicate a leak.
- Water Loss Rate: Measure the rate of water loss by marking the pool water level and monitoring it over a specific time, such as 24 hours. A significant loss of water during a short period may indicate a leak.
