Pool Leak Detection for Nokomis
Find the source before water loss becomes a bigger problem
Nokomis pools in Sorrento Shores sit on canal fill a few feet above the bay, the Casey Key pools sit on beach sand, and the Mission Valley pools were plumbed sixty years ago, so a leaking line never leaves a puddle and the original fittings have had decades to give up. If the autofill runs more than the Gulf breeze explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Pools this old have usually been replumbed in pieces by several owners, so we map what is actually under the deck before pressure testing and test the oldest run first; on the canals we also watch whether the level tracks the tide.
Leak clues in a Nokomis pool
From the leak crew
A level that moves with the tide in Sorrento Shores, a skimmer that gulps air once the level drops an inch, a level that stops at the light, a seawall deck that has settled toward the canal, or a water bill that climbed in the dry season are the signs worth a call. Sand drains the loss away, so a wet spot in the yard is rarely part of the picture.
Skimmer throats and main drain lines on the 1960s pools, corroded light niches and return fittings on the key and the canals, and skimmer joints on settled seawall corners are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Nokomis 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, Southwest FloridaWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
It is almost certainly a leak. Evaporation in Nokomis 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 daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use 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 239-286-7700 gets the test scheduled. Call 239-286-7700 before the autofill hides it: in Nokomis 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?
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 daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use 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 Nokomis our leak detection visit confirms it with pressure testing on the lines and dye at every fitting, as in all 17 cities we serve. Our Nokomis technicians document the source with photos before any repair is proposed, whatever daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use did to the pipes.
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 Nokomis, daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use 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; 239-286-7700 books it. Turn the autofill off first in Nokomis, or the test measures nothing, whatever daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use do.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Nokomis?
Fittings and plumbing under the deck, worked loose by daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use. Skimmer throats separate, return lines crack where the deck settles, and light conduit corrodes in wet ground; in a Nokomis pool, under daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use, 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 239-286-7700 is set up for. The repair is quoted separately in Nokomis, and the 60-day warranty covers detection when we do the work; 239-286-7700 explains both.
Is it a leak or evaporation in Florida weather?
Evaporation depends on the weather, meaning daily storms, Gulf salt air, and year-round use; a leak does not. In Nokomis 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 17 cities we serve.
