You notice that
your pool is losing water...
If
the pool water level goes down to the bottom of the skimmer and stops, this
usually means that it is a suction line leak, most likely directly under the
skimmer. We suggest contacting a local pool professional to repair something
like this!
If the pool water level goes down to the
bottom of the return jets and then stops, this usually means that it is a return
line leak, most likely directly by the wall jet return fitting, but it could be
anywhere in the return line. We suggest contacting a local pool professional to
repair something like this!
If the pool water level goes down
to the top, middle or bottom of the light unit, this usually means that the
light is leaking. This is usually the fitting in the light niche where the metal
or plastic conduit pipe is attached to the metal niche. We suggest contacting a
local pool professional to repair something like this!
If
the water level goes down to any other level on the side walls and then stops,
this usually means that the leak is in the liner on the pool side wall or
possibly in the step unit gasket. Inspect the pool visually around the water
level and check to see if you can see a hole. Check the area where the ladder
comes in contact with the liner. This is a very common leak point. If you cannot
clearly see a leak hole, we suggest contacting a local pool professional to
locate & repair the leak.
If
the water level goes down past the side walls, then it usually means that the
leak is in the pool floor. You do not want all the water to drain out of the
pool as it is bad for the liner and very bad for the pool walls - you do not
want the pool to fall in! If you see that you are quickly losing all the water
in your pool, put a hose in the pool, start to refill it and contact a local
pool professional to locate & patch the hole.
