Pool Leak Detection for Murphy
Find the source before water loss becomes a bigger problem
Murphy sits on blackland clay that swells through a wet spring and shrinks hard by August, and the decks and plumbing of pools built in Maxwell Creek and The Gables twenty years ago have been riding that cycle ever since. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Maxwell Creek decks were poured on clay that had just been graded, and the settling that followed shows up now as a coping joint open on one side and a skimmer throat pulled a quarter inch from the shell; we read which side of the deck dropped before choosing the first dye test, and the return lines come second.
Leak clues in a Murphy pool
From the leak crew
A level that drops faster with the pump running, a skimmer that gulps air once the level falls an inch, a gap opening between the coping and the deck, a deck slab that has tilted at a joint, or a strip of lawn that stays green through the August burn are the signs worth a call. Clay stresses the skimmer-to-shell joint first, then the return fittings, then the light conduit.
Skimmer throats, return fittings, and light niches are the usual sources on Murphy pools, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Murphy 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?
Because something is leaking. A Murphy pool loses water to evaporation, splash-out, and backwashing, but even hard water, spring pollen, and July heat cannot evaporate an inch every day. The fastest check is the bucket test: match a bucket on the step to the pool level, turn the autofill off, and compare after a day; the bucket shows the evaporation, the gap is the leak, and its size tells us whether to look first at a fitting, a line, or the shell, as it does across all 41 cities. Call 972-953-6261 before the autofill hides it: in Murphy 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?
Work from the easy checks to the hard ones, with hard water, spring pollen, and July heat 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 Murphy the plumbing joints are the usual answer, which the pressure test names, a call to 972-953-6261 away. In Murphy the visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with hard water, spring pollen, and July heat in mind.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
The bucket test, and it costs nothing, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat 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 Murphy 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 41 cities. In Murphy 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 Murphy?
Plumbing and fittings, not the shell. Skimmer throats pull loose where the deck and the pool move differently, return lines crack where a deck has settled, and light niches and conduit corrode in wet ground; in Murphy, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat speed up all three. Shell cracks are rarer and easier to see; the plumbing leaks hide under the deck, which is why the search starts under pressure rather than with a flashlight, in all 41 cities we serve. In Murphy a leak found at a fitting is usually a small repair; one under the deck is scoped in writing before any cutting, in all 41 cities.
Can a pool leak be in the plumbing under the deck?
Often it is, and hard water, spring pollen, and July heat 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 Murphy deck stresses most as hard water, spring pollen, and July heat 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 41 cities.
