Pool Leak Detection for Hobe Sound
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Hobe Sound problem
Hobe Sound pools on Jupiter Island sit on dune sand that drains a leaking line straight down, the acreage pools along Bridge Road run long pipe between a distant pad and the pool, and the estate pools add spas and feature lines that can each lose water on their own. 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.
Long runs on the acreage and long loops on the island mean we pressure test each line on its own and let the drop point to the section worth dyeing; with nobody home for months, the fill line and the water bill tell us how long the pool has been losing before the visit.
Leak clues in a Hobe Sound pool
From the leak crew
A well pump that runs more than it should on the acreage, a water bill that climbed while the island house was empty, a spa that drops to the spillover overnight, a return that lost flow on one side, or a light that quit after the level fell are the signs worth a call. Sand drains the loss away instantly, so a wet spot in the yard is rarely part of the picture.
Long acreage runs, spa check valves and feature lines on the island estates, corroded light niches near the ocean, and skimmer throats on settled decks are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Hobe Sound 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 CoastWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
It is almost certainly a leak. Evaporation in Hobe Sound 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 Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year 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 561-760-9500 gets the test scheduled. Detection is warranted for 60 days in Hobe Sound when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 21 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 Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year 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 Hobe Sound our leak detection visit confirms it with pressure testing on the lines and dye at every fitting, as in all 21 cities we serve. In Hobe Sound the visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year in mind.
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 Hobe Sound, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year 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; 561-760-9500 books it. In Hobe Sound the standard detection visit is quoted up front and the repair separately; 561-760-9500 has both numbers.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Hobe Sound?
Fittings and plumbing under the deck, worked loose by Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year. Skimmer throats separate, return lines crack where the deck settles, and light conduit corrodes in wet ground; in a Hobe Sound pool, under Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year, all three are more common than a crack in the shell. Because they hide under the deck, the search runs under pressure, line by line, rather than by eye, which is what the team at 561-760-9500 is set up for. Our Hobe Sound 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 Hobe Sound 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.
