Pool Leak Detection for Lithia
Water loss has a source; find it before it becomes a bigger problem
Lithia sits on sand that drains a leaking pool line in an afternoon, and the acreage lots run long pipe between a distant pad and the pool while the FishHawk Ranch pools are still settling under decks poured in the last fifteen years. If the level keeps falling after the bucket test rules out the summer heat, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Long runs are the acreage twist: a return line that crosses half an acre has more places to open than a subdivision pool, so we pressure test each line separately and let the dye show where along the run the pressure is going.
Where a Lithia pool loses water
From the leak crew
A return that lost flow on one side, air in the pump basket, a level that drops more with the pump running, a coping joint that opened on one corner in FishHawk, or a water bill that climbed in the dry season are the clues worth a call. Sand drains the loss away, so a wet spot in the yard is rarely part of the picture.
Long acreage runs, skimmer throats on settled FishHawk decks, and light conduits on builder-grade plumbing are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Lithia 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, Tampa BayWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
An inch a day usually means a leak, not the weather, even with daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends. Evaporation takes a quarter inch or so on a hot Lithia day and far less in humid or cool weather; wind, a heater, a spa spillway, and daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends push it up, but not to an inch. Run the bucket test, a bucket on the step filled to the pool level, 24 hours with the autofill off, and compare: water lost beyond what the bucket lost is leaking, most often at the skimmer, a return line, or a light niche, the pattern in all 37 cities we serve. Our Lithia leak detection visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends in mind, and repairs are quoted separately once the source is found.
How can I find out where my pool is leaking from?
Work from the easy checks to the hard ones, with daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends in mind. Look at the pad first for a wet pump seal or a weeping filter; then run the bucket test for a day with the autofill off; then let the water level tell you where it stops, since a stop at the skimmer, at the light, or at the returns each points to a different suspect, and in Lithia the plumbing joints are the usual answer, which the pressure test names, a call to 813-793-2600 away. In Lithia the visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends in mind.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
The bucket test, and it costs nothing, daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends or not. Set a bucket on the top step, fill it to match the pool, mark both lines, and leave the pool running normally for a day with the autofill off; if the pool drops more than the bucket, the difference is a leak. That tells you there is one; finding it in a Lithia pool usually takes pressure testing the suction and return lines and dye testing the fittings, lights, and skimmer, which is what the detection visit does in all 37 cities. Turn the autofill off first in Lithia, or the test measures nothing, whatever daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends do.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Lithia?
Movement. The deck and the shell move at different rates as daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends work on a Lithia 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 37 cities we serve. In Lithia a leak found at a fitting is usually a small repair; one under the deck is scoped in writing before any cutting, in all 37 cities.
Will my autofill hide a leak?
Completely, until the water bill arrives, and daily summer storms, oak pollen, and a swim season that never ends 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 Lithia yard. Turn the autofill off before the bucket test and leave it off for the 24 hours, or the test measures nothing; 813-793-2600 can walk you through it.
