Hidden Pool Leaks

If your pool is equipped with an automatic pool filler and you have noticed that your water bills are unusually high and getting higher, you may have a leak in your pool or pool filtration system.  Higher water bills are to be expected in the summer months when the pool is open and being used heavily, but unexplained high water bills are often the first sign of a water leak that can be anywhere including in your water supply line, the plumbing inside your home, a leaky toilet tank, leaking irrigation system, or a leak in your pool.

Automatic pool fillers or water level controllers are wonderful devices that relieve pool owners from the hassle of constantly filling their pool.  Pools naturally lose water due to evaporation and from water splashed out of the pool, and water level controllers add water to keep the pool water at the right level which prevents damage to the pump and allows the skimmer and filter to work properly.

However, when the pool has an automatic water level controller the pool owner might not notice the water loss from a pool leak for months.  If you are looking for the source of a potential water leak, don’t forget the pool.  You can use a simple bucket test to check for pool leaks or contact a pool service that handles pool leak detection.

If you find a pool leak, have it fixed as soon as possible.  Pool leaks not only waste water, but you will also need to use more chemicals in the pool to keep it properly balanced.  In addition, pool leaks can cause erosion and damage to your foundation.
