Water Loss Diagnostic SheetDiagnostic If your pool is losing water you will have to ascertain where the leak is before it can be fixed; i.e. is it the pipes, the main drain or the liner or shell of your pool? The following procedure is intended to help you isolate the leak with a minimum of cost. Fill pool to halfway up your skimmer opening and mark level on skimmer face. Observe change in water level over 24* hours while your pump is running. Refill the pool to halfway up skimmer face plate opening after 24* hours and shut pump off for 24* hours to observe water level change again. * If you have a very slow leak you might have to wait 48 hours between observations. Results RESULT A: If your water loss stops or there is a significant decrease in water loss when pump is turned off, your leak is probably in the piping to or from your pool. RESULT B: If water loss does not change significantly with your pump turned off your leak is either in the liner or shell of the pool or in your main drain. Solutions SOLUTION A: Arrange to have your lines pressure tested by your Pioneer Family Pools Service Technician. SOLUTION B: First arrange for a main drain isolation test of your pool. If the leak is not found in the main drain a diver will have to be employed to check you liner for leaks if you have a vinyl pool, or in it's shell if you have a concrete pool. |
