Signs and Indicators of Pool, Spa & Fountain Leaks
There are several signs and indicators that can point to the presence of leaks in pools, spas, and fountains. These include:
Decreased Water Level
A noticeable and consistent drop in the water level of the pool, spa, or fountain, despite regular refilling, can indicate a leak.
Excessive Water Usage
Unexplained increases in water usage and higher water bills may suggest a leak in the water system.
Wet or Damp Areas
Persistent wet or damp areas around the pool, spa, or fountain, particularly on the surrounding deck or in equipment rooms, can indicate water leakage.
Cracks or Structural Damage
Visible cracks in the pool, spa, or fountain structure or any signs of damage may be indicative of a leak.
Chemical Imbalance
Difficulty maintaining proper water chemistry balance despite regular maintenance efforts may be a result of water loss through a leak.
Equipment Malfunction
Leaks can put additional stress on pumps, filters, and other equipment, leading to decreased performance or frequent malfunctions.
Shifted Soil or Sinking Decks
The presence of shifted or disturbed soil around the pool, spa, or fountain area, or the appearance of sinking decks, can indicate underground leaks.
If any of these signs or indicators are observed, it is recommended to promptly conduct a thorough inspection and professional pool leak detection to identify and address the leaks effectively.

Types of Pool, Spa & Fountain Leaks
It’s important to promptly address any leaks in commercial pool, spa, and fountain systems to prevent water waste, potential structural damage, and increased maintenance costs.
Structural Leaks
These leaks occur when there are cracks, holes, or damaged components in the structure of the pool, spa, or fountain. They may result from settling, shifting soil, or poor construction.
Equipment Leaks
Equipment such as pumps, filters, heaters, and chlorinators can develop leaks due to worn-out seals, gaskets, O-rings, or cracked casings. These leaks often result in water seepage around the equipment area.
Skimmer Leaks
Skimmers are an integral part of pool and spa systems that remove debris from the water’s surface. Leaks in skimmers can occur when the skimmer housing cracks or the skimmer basket is damaged or improperly installed.
Return Line Leaks
Return lines carry filtered water back into the pool or spa. These lines may leak as a result of faulty seals around return fittings, cracked pipes, or loose connections.
Surge or Collector Tank Leaks
The shell of a pool surge or collector tank can develop leaks if there are cracks or damage to the surface material or around the pipes coming into the tank. Over time, these leaks can lead to water loss and structural problems.
Auto Fill Leaks
Most commercial pools, spas, and fountains have an autofill to maintain water levels due to standard evaporation. Sometimes the auto fill pipe is not set right, causing water to overflow and go to waste. Other times, the water supply line has developed a crack and is leaking underground somewhere.
