Pool Leak Detection for Anna
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Anna problem
Anna sits on blackland clay that swells when it rains and shrinks in an August drought, and a new pool shell and its plumbing move with it. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Clay movement puts stress on return lines and skimmer throats within the first few years of a pool's life, so a young Anna pool can leak just as easily as an old one. We test rather than guess, and show you what we found.
Leak clues in an Anna pool
From the leak crew
A level that drops faster with the pump running, air in the pump basket, a deck slab that has lifted or dropped at a joint, a soft spot in the yard, or a jump in the water bill are the signs worth a call. The bucket test below separates summer evaporation from a real leak in a day.
Clay heave commonly opens skimmer-to-shell joints and return fittings, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Anna Pool Owners Ask
How do I know it is a leak and not the weather?
Put a bucket of pool water on the step for a day and mark both levels. If the pool drops faster than the bucket, that difference is the leak. In North Texas I also ask when the yard last moved, because clay soil pulls skimmers away from the shell in a dry August.
Answered by a Blue Science leak technician, DFW MetroplexWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
It is almost certainly a leak. Evaporation in Anna peaks around half an inch a day in a dry, windy heat wave and drops to almost nothing in humid weather, so an inch a day, every day, means water is leaving through the plumbing or the shell, whatever hard water, spring pollen, and July heat are doing. The clue is where the level stops: at the skimmer, the skimmer or a return is the suspect; below the lights, look at the light niche or the main drain line; all the way down, the shell has a crack, and 972-953-6261 gets the test scheduled. Our Anna leak detection visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with hard water, spring pollen, and July heat in mind, and repairs are quoted separately once the source is found.
How can I find out where my pool is leaking from?
Start at the equipment pad, because a dripping pump seal, a weeping filter tank, or a loose union is a repair rather than a leak, and hard water, spring pollen, and July heat produce plenty of those. If the pad is dry, run the bucket test for 24 hours with the autofill off, then watch where the level stops: at the skimmer mouth points to the skimmer or a return line, below the light points to the niche or the main drain line, and a level that keeps falling points to the shell; in Anna our leak detection visit confirms it with pressure testing on the lines and dye at every fitting, as in all 41 cities we serve. Our Anna technicians document the source with photos before any repair is proposed, whatever hard water, spring pollen, and July heat did to the pipes.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
Rule out evaporation first, with a bucket. Mark the pool level and a bucket filled to match, wait a day with the autofill off, and compare; in Anna, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat can push evaporation up, but the bucket shows exactly how much. Anything the pool loses beyond that is a leak, and the detection visit locates it with pressure on each line and dye at each fitting; 972-953-6261 books it. In Anna the standard detection visit is quoted up front and the repair separately; 972-953-6261 has both numbers.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Anna?
Movement. The deck and the shell move at different rates as hard water, spring pollen, and July heat work on an Anna yard, and every joint between them, the skimmer throat, the return fittings, the light niche, the spa spillway, is where a leak starts. Structural cracks are rare by comparison and easier to see, which is why the visit tests the joints first, in every one of the 41 cities we serve. Our Anna detection visit tests the skimmer and returns first because that is where the odds are, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat considered.
Will my autofill hide a leak?
Completely, until the water bill arrives, and hard water, spring pollen, and July heat hide it further. An autofill replaces what the pool loses, so the level never moves and the only symptoms are a higher bill, chemistry that will not hold, and sometimes a damp patch in the Anna yard. Turn the autofill off before the bucket test and leave it off for the 24 hours, or the test measures nothing; 972-953-6261 can walk you through it.
