Pool Leak Detection for Palm Beach
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Palm Beach problem
Palm Beach pools sit on an island with the tide a few feet under every deck, and the oldest of them have plumbing that has been replaced in pieces for a century under gardens, walls, and additions, with spas and feature lines that can each lose water on their own while the owner is away for months. 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.
On a Palm Beach estate we map what is actually under the garden before pressure testing, because the original run and the replacement runs rarely match any drawing, then isolate the spa, the features, and each return loop one at a time; the tide chart tells us which side of the water table the losing line sits on.
Leak clues in a Palm Beach pool
From the leak crew
A water bill that climbed while the house was empty, a spa that drops to the spillover overnight, a level that moves with the tide, a skimmer that gulps air once the level drops an inch on the oldest pools, or a light that quit after the level fell are the signs worth a call. The island is too wet to show a leak, so the pad and the pool have to tell the story.
Spa check valves, feature lines, main drain lines and skimmer throats on the century-old pools, and corroded light niches and return fittings on both shores are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Palm Beach 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?
Because an inch a day is more than evaporation. Evaporation in Palm Beach runs up to about half an inch a day in the hottest, driest stretches and less most of the year, even with Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year, so a pool that drops an inch every day is losing water somewhere: a skimmer throat, a return line, a light niche, a crack, or a fitting under the deck. The bucket test tells them apart in 24 hours, and it is the first thing our team at 561-760-9500 asks whether you have done. Call 561-760-9500 before the autofill hides it: in Palm Beach 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 Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year 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 Palm Beach the plumbing joints are the usual answer, which the pressure test names, a call to 561-760-9500 away. In Palm Beach 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?
The bucket test, and it costs nothing, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year 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 Palm Beach 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 21 cities. In Palm Beach 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 Palm Beach?
Movement. The deck and the shell move at different rates as Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year work on a Palm Beach 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 21 cities we serve. Our Palm Beach 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.
Where is the most common place for a pool leak to occur?
The skimmer, where the throat meets the shell, is the most common single spot, followed by the return fittings, the light niche and its conduit, and the main drain line, all of them worked on by Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year. A Palm Beach pool with an attached spa adds the spillway and the spa fittings to the list; each one shows a different pattern in the water level, and the dye test settles it in minutes once the level has narrowed the search, as it does across 21 cities.
