Solving the problem

You need to have the leak pin pointed exact, repaired and know without a doubt that your problem is solved. Pool pipes are almost always under beautiful lawn, expensive paving, tiles or concrete. To open and trench these expensive surfaces looking for leaks is very expensive and not the best solution to solve the problem. You know there is a leak, but where? All leaks cause various interruptions to your lifestyle, bad for the environment, damage to buildings and other structures, financial loss and may even endanger life. The faster and more accurately you can locate a leak on your pool pipe system, the more you stand to gain in time, and avoid damage to your pool and pump system.

Where is the leak?

To save our customers lots of drama, we use the correct and highly specialized instruments and tools to accurately pin point your pool pipe leak (normally within less than one square meter).

Extra Costs

A leak on the suction pipe for example will cause poor or zero performance of your cleaning machine and your pool pump will not cool properly. If your pool pump overheats, the seals and gaskets inside will be damaged, causing a further suction leak on the pump itself, which then needs to be reconditioned at a further cost.

Suction Leaks

A suction leak can easily be identified 95% of the time. When you notice that the pump basket doesn’t fill up completely and the return pipe in the pool will blow continues champagne bubbles it is a suction leakage.

Water loss

Return pipe leaks will cause water loss in the pool. If your pool suffers water loss this will cause damage to your Marblelite lining in the pool. If enough water is lost, the pump will run dry and overheat or even burn out. This is terrible snowball effect causing more and more money to be spent in vain if not correctly rectified. When you suspect a leak, pin point and sort it out AS SOON AS SUSPECTED to avoid further damage. The quicker the better to minimize costs.
