Commercial Swimming Pool Leak Detection
A suspected leak in a commercial swimming pool needs fast attention. A drop in water level can increase your water bill, affect chemical balance, put pressure on plant equipment and create disruption for swimmers, staff and facilities teams.
Pool Tech Services provides commercial pool leak detection across the North West for sites that need the source of the leak found quickly and with minimal disruption. We work with leisure centres, schools, hotels, councils, healthcare facilities and other managed sites where downtime has to be kept under control.
How do we find leaks
Pool leaks are not always visible. In some cases, the first sign is a slow drop in water level. In others, the issue may appear as unstable pool water chemistry, damp areas around the pool surround, air in the system, or a pipe that will not hold pressure.
We use specialist leak detection methods to investigate the likely source of the leak without creating unnecessary disruption. We go through pressure testing, dye testing, acoustic listening equipment, visual inspection and targeted checks around the pool shell, tile line, skimmer, return line, pool lights, plant room, and pipework.
Our leak detection process, step by step
Every site is different, but our process is built around clear diagnosis and practical reporting.
- We discuss the symptoms with your team. This includes when the water loss started, whether the pool is losing water when the plant is running, whether there has been a significant water loss event, and whether any recent maintenance or building work has taken place.
- We inspect the pool, plant room and accessible pipework. We look for signs that may indicate plumbing leaks, a water leak around the structure, issues in the filtration system, or a fault in a specific component.
- We then carry out targeted testing. Depending on the site, this may include pressure testing pipe runs, using dye around suspected areas, checking the water level against normal evaporation, and inspecting the areas most likely to lose water.
- Once testing is complete, we explain what has been found in clear terms. If we can pinpoint the issue, we will outline the recommended next step and whether further commercial pool repair work is needed.
