Pool Leak Detection for Boerne
Water loss has a source; find it before it becomes a bigger problem
Boerne sits on karst limestone full of voids and fissures, and a leaking pool line here drains into rock instead of leaving a damp spot. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
On Kendall County rock there is rarely a wet patch to point at, so we rely on pressure and dye testing rather than looking for water, and we show you the findings before proposing a repair.
Leak clues in a Boerne pool
From the leak crew
Air in the pump basket, a level that drops faster with the pump running, a deck joint that has opened, a heater or filter that will not hold pressure, or a jump in the water bill are the signs worth a call. The bucket test below separates evaporation from a real leak in a day.
Return lines routed around rock, skimmer throats, and light niches are the usual Hill Country sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Boerne 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, Greater San AntonioWhy 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 Boerne days can take up to half an inch, hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water 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 7 cities we cover. Detection is warranted for 30 days in Boerne when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 7 cities we serve.
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, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water 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 Boerne our leak detection visit confirms it with pressure testing on the lines and dye at every fitting, as in all 7 cities we serve. Detection and repair are quoted separately in Boerne, so you approve a defined fix; 210-704-1400 schedules both.
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 Boerne, hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water 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; 210-704-1400 books it. In Boerne the standard detection visit is quoted up front and the repair separately; 210-704-1400 has both numbers.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Boerne?
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 Boerne, hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water 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 7 cities. Our Boerne detection visit tests the skimmer and returns first because that is where the odds are, hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water considered.
Can a pool leak be in the plumbing under the deck?
Often it is, and hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water make it likelier. Suction lines from the skimmer and main drain and the return lines to the jets all run under the deck, and they are the lines a shifting Boerne deck stresses most as hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water work on it; pressure testing isolates each line and shows which one will not hold, and locating equipment narrows the break to a spot before anything is opened. Detection and repair are quoted separately, so you approve a defined fix rather than a search, the same way in all 7 cities.
