Pool Leak Detection for Atlantis

Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Atlantis problem

Atlantis pools were plumbed in the 1970s on sand that drains a leaking line in an afternoon, and fifty years of settling toward the fairway lakes has worked on every skimmer joint and return fitting while the owner was up north. If the autofill has been running or the summer water bill did not match an empty house, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.

Most Atlantis leak calls start with a water bill rather than a puddle, so we begin by reading what the autofill did over the summer, then pressure test each line on its own and dye-test the rigid skimmer joint on the fairway side, where fifty years of settling pull hardest.

Leak clues in an Atlantis pool

Blue Science team member From the leak crew

A water bill that climbed while the house was empty, a skimmer that gulps air once the level drops an inch, a level that stops at the light, a deck joint that opened on the fairway side, or air in the pump basket are the signs worth a call. Sand drains the loss away, so a wet spot in the yard is rarely part of the picture.

Rigid skimmer joints, light niches, and main drain lines on the 1970s plumbing, and return fittings on settled fairway-side corners, are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

A leak test in Atlantis

From a bucket on the step to a marked spot

7:30 AM Bucket test read Yesterday's bucket tells us how much of the loss is evaporation and how much is not.
9:15 AM Pressure and dye Each line is isolated and pressure-tested; dye finds cracks around fittings and lights.
11:00 AM The mark The source is marked, photographed, and written up with the repair options.

How we find a leak

“Before I bring out the pressure rig in Atlantis, I want to know how much of the loss is evaporation. Here is the order we work in.”

The bucket test before you call

Set a bucket on the top step, fill it to match the pool level, and mark both waterlines. Run the pool normally for 24 hours without adding water, which is long enough to tell even with Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year. When the pool drops noticeably more than the bucket, the loss is something other than evaporation, which is the answer in most of the 21 cities we serve.

Watch whether the loss changes with the pump off, whether air shows up in the pump basket, and whether a patch of the deck or yard stays damp; tell 561-760-9500 what you saw. With those details the inspection starts in the right place and the appointment runs more efficiently, since a simple pattern often tells common plumbing problems from structural issues before anyone gets in the water; 561-760-9500 takes the details.

How professional leak detection works

Finding leaks is what we specialize in, and our leak detection services begin at the equipment pad and waterline, pressure-test the suction and return lines, dye-test the fittings, lights, and skimmers, and inspect the shell for cracks where the evidence leads, across the 21 cities we cover. Hidden underground line leaks are located with pressure testing and advanced inspection technology before anyone cuts a Atlantis deck, using the same methods for a spa as for a swimming pool, whatever Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year have done to the plumbing. Detection and repair are quoted separately, and our pool leak repair services give you a defined fix to approve rather than an open-ended search, so you're never dealing with a price based on guesswork, only an accurate quote for the fix, at 561-760-9500.

Repairs and the 60-day warranty

If Blue Science does the recommended repair, the leak detection is covered by a 60-day warranty. Once the leak is fixed we retest the line, and if a large leak was hiding a smaller one you hear about it before any further work, so the water waste stops for good and no damage is left to find.

Watch the waterline for the first couple of weeks and call 561-760-9500 if the level moves; prompt notice keeps the warranty follow-up simple. Every visit under our weekly pool services and pool maintenance plans includes a pool water level check, which is how routine pool care catches new pool leaks in Atlantis before they turn into a bill. Licensed, insured, and certified (Florida Pool Contractor License CPC1459563), Blue Science stands behind the repair, and warranty questions go to a knowledgeable customer service team.

Good to know

Questions Atlantis Pool Owners Ask

Can the high water table hide a leak?

It can change the reading. Groundwater pushing in from outside can slow a shell leak while the pump is off and let it run when the pump is on. That is why I test with the pump running and again with it off before I go looking for the spot.

Answered by a Blue Science leak technician, Palm Beach County & Treasure Coast

Why is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?

Three things drop a pool an inch a day, and only one of them is normal. Evaporation on the hottest Atlantis days can take up to half an inch, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year permitting; splash-out and backwashing take a little more on a busy weekend; everything past that is a leak. Pressure-side leaks show up as a wet spot or a pump that spits air, suction-side leaks as air in the pump basket, and shell leaks as a level that stops dropping at the same spot every time, which our leak detection visit sorts out with pressure tests and dye in any of the 21 cities we cover. Call 561-760-9500 before the autofill hides it: in Atlantis a leak that runs all summer costs more in water and chemicals than the visit that finds it.

How can I find out where my pool is leaking from?

Watch the level, then test the lines. Mark the waterline, turn off the autofill, and note where the pool settles over a day or two, the skimmer mouth, the return fittings, the light niche, and the main drain each showing a different stopping point, whatever Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year are doing. What you cannot see from the deck, an Atlantis leak detection visit finds by pressure-testing each line and dye-testing the fittings and the shell, the same routine across 21 cities. Our Atlantis technicians document the source with photos before any repair is proposed, whatever Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year did to the pipes.

What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?

The bucket test. A bucket on the top step, filled to the pool's level and marked, loses water only to evaporation, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year included; the pool loses water to evaporation and to any leak. Compare the two lines after 24 hours with the autofill off and the gap is the leak; in Atlantis that takes a day and no tools, and finding the source takes the pressure and dye testing of a detection visit, one call to 561-760-9500. The bucket test is also how our Atlantis technicians check the repair afterward, against Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year.

What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Atlantis?

The skimmer, first and by a wide margin. The throat where the skimmer meets the shell moves every time the deck and the pool move differently, and in Atlantis, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year keep them moving. Return fittings and light niches come next, then underground lines where a deck has settled, and shell cracks last; each shows a different pattern in the water level, and the dye test confirms it in minutes, as it has across 21 cities. Our Atlantis detection visit tests the skimmer and returns first because that is where the odds are, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year considered.

Is it a leak or evaporation in Florida weather?

Evaporation depends on the weather, meaning Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year; a leak does not. In Atlantis the same conditions can push evaporation to about half an inch a day at the worst, and it slows in humid or cool weather, while a leak loses the same amount every day. If the loss is steady through a rainy week or a cool one, it is a leak, and the bucket test settles it in a day, the first step in every one of the 21 cities we serve.
