Some of Your Questions

There are several ways to determine if your pool is leaking.   If you have a pool service, they will usually notice first.  Your pool will not hold chemicals.  They will have to add extra salt and stabilizer.  The only way these chemicals get low is if water is leaving the pool.    If you are still not sure you can perform a water loss test using a bucket.  In Florida we see an average of 1/4 of an inch a day in evaporation depending on the area and weather conditions.

To perform a water loss bucket test you will need a 5 gallon bucket that does not leak. You will fill the bucket a little over half to 3/4 full. We recommend setting the bucket on the first step of the pool so water temp and conditions are the same. Turn off the pool and let the water settle. Mark the water on the inside of the bucket and in the pool. We have stickers just for this. You then turn your pool back on so it can run its normal cycle. 24hrs later you will turn the pool off, and recheck the bucket. If the water in the pool is lower than the Bucket you have a leak.

Typical causes of a pool leak include the pool plasters age, damaged plumbing lines from settling, a structural crack in the pool, or a cracked skimmer, main drain, pool light, or return fitting.

Depending on the complexity of the issue and the pool, a Pro Pool Team Leak Pro should be able to diagnose and identify the leak in between one to 2 hours. To learn more about swimming pool leak detection, reach out to Pro Pool Team today.

The cost of a swimming pool leak detection service varies depending on the pool and it's complexity. Generally, most of our services start at at $325 and reach upwards of $1000.

What do I need to do before my leak detection starts?

To ensure the most accurate results during your pool leak detection, we ask that certain conditions are met before our technicians arrive:

  • Clean & Clear Water – Our technicians often need to dive into the pool to inspect main drains and lights. The water must be clear so they can see all areas of the pool.
  • Normal Operating Level – Please make sure the pool is filled to its normal operating level before the test. This is usually about halfway up the tile line or the skimmer mouth.

Following these steps helps our team work safely and efficiently, while ensuring we can detect even the smallest leaks in your pool or spa.

Once the test is complete, your technician will call you with the results of your leak test and inform you of any work that was completed. You will also get full reports of the work completed and videos of any leaks that we can capture.

What is a normal amout of evaporation per Day in my pool?

The answer depends on the pool and the time of year. The general guideline we provide in the SWFL and Central Florida areas is to allow about 1/4” per day for normal evaporation. This can change depending on water temperature, air temperature, and humidity. If you are unsure we can get you signed up for the yearly Maintance aggreement, and set up a waterloss test for you. If your leaking your fee's for the yearly agreement go toward your leak detection. You also will save on repairs and other services the Pro Pool Team Offers. We make it easy.

Seasonal Variations:

  • Spring: Warmer pool water combined with cold nights can cause higher evaporation rates.
  • Summer: High humidity reduces evaporation, so you should see less water loss.

Other Factors: A pool with running water features—such as a spa spill-over, waterfall, or fountains—will naturally evaporate more because more water is exposed to air.
