  3. Introduction If you're a pool owner you've experienced a pool leak at some point. It is a common fact that leakages make up the substantial majority of swimming pool repairs. On average swimming pool have major repair works that start with leaks. If the leaks are not repaired promptly and fixed in time, it can cost a lot that even more than the actual cost of maintaining the pool. Here are the top 4 repair tips to detect and assist in a pool

  4. Tip 1# Check for the leaks manually Here is what you do: Perform the bucket test. You will have to fill a bucket with water and set it on the steps of your pool using the top of the bucket above water level. This will make sure that the water in and out of the bucket will end up being the same temperature. After sometimes or hours you can evaluate the water loss in the pail compared to the pool. If there is a difference, then you have a leak.

  5. Tip #2: Check plumbing Sometimes leaks can be from the filter system, such leaks are in Plumbing. The first thing to do at such times is to examine where your backwash line comes out. You can do this one of the two ways. First, you can perform a pressure test on the lines, then dig, pursuing the leaking line till you discover it. Than or even better, you can call in your nearby leak detection service. We will suggest calling the leak detection service rather than digging yourself and make the situation even worse.

  6. Tip #3: Examine the vinyl liner A leak could be a little more challenging to discover and repair in a vinyl pool, but it's not out of the question. We'd recommend that you first examine around all the things that pierce the liner (primary drain, returns, lights, etc.). Should you find that the liner has broken free or is leaking behind a fitting, we would strongly advise that you call in your local pool professional at this stage.

  7. Tip #4: Check the concrete structure This can be done using the dye method. For it, you'll require some food coloring and you'll want to turn off the pump at least an hour in advance. In a concrete swimming pool, any cracks in the shell are usually obvious. By squeezing out the food coloring near the crack, you will see the crack pull the food coloring in. That will show you where the swimming pool is leaking. Once the leak is discovered, it is simple to repair utilizing a patching material. Most of them will work underwater. After patching, check again with your food coloring to make certain you plugged the leak.

  8. Conclusion In summary, the Swimming pool needs maintenance and repair now and then. If you can’t handle the situation you better leave the repair works and even maintenance can also handle by professional swimming pool leak detection service and contractors. They know how to do and what to do for your best.
