Pool Leak Detection for Palm Beach Gardens
Water loss has a source; find it before it becomes a bigger problem
Palm Beach Gardens pools sit on fill beside the fairway lakes with the water table a few feet down, so a leaking line under a lanai in PGA National or BallenIsles never shows on the surface, and forty years of settling toward the lakes has pulled on the skimmer joints while the owner was up north. 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.
Fill settles toward the lake, and the skimmer joint on the lake-side corner of a Gardens lanai is where a leak usually opens; we dye-test that joint first, then pressure test each return line on its own, and the light conduit on the older PGA pools comes next.
Leak clues in a Palm Beach Gardens pool
From the leak crew
A water bill that climbed while the house was empty, a coping joint that opened on the lake side, a level that drops faster with the pump on, a skimmer that gulps air once the level falls an inch, or a light that quit after the level dropped are the signs worth a call. Fill and lake water between them hide the loss, so the pad and the pool have to tell the story.
Skimmer throats on settled lake-side corners, return fittings and light conduits on the 1980s PGA plumbing, and skimmer joints on the newer Mirasol lanais are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Palm Beach Gardens 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?
Three things drop a pool an inch a day, and only one of them is normal. Evaporation on the hottest Palm Beach Gardens days can take up to half an inch, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year permitting; splash-out and backwashing take a little more on a busy weekend; everything past that is a leak. Pressure-side leaks show up as a wet spot or a pump that spits air, suction-side leaks as air in the pump basket, and shell leaks as a level that stops dropping at the same spot every time, which our leak detection visit sorts out with pressure tests and dye in any of the 21 cities we cover. Call 561-760-9500 before the autofill hides it: in Palm Beach Gardens 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?
Watch the level, then test the lines. Mark the waterline, turn off the autofill, and note where the pool settles over a day or two, the skimmer mouth, the return fittings, the light niche, and the main drain each showing a different stopping point, whatever Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year are doing. What you cannot see from the deck, a Palm Beach Gardens leak detection visit finds by pressure-testing each line and dye-testing the fittings and the shell, the same routine across 21 cities. Detection and repair are quoted separately in Palm Beach Gardens, so you approve a defined fix; 561-760-9500 schedules both.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
The bucket test. A bucket on the top step, filled to the pool's level and marked, loses water only to evaporation, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year included; the pool loses water to evaporation and to any leak. Compare the two lines after 24 hours with the autofill off and the gap is the leak; in Palm Beach Gardens that takes a day and no tools, and finding the source takes the pressure and dye testing of a detection visit, one call to 561-760-9500. Our Palm Beach Gardens visit repeats the bucket test with the pump off and on, which separates plumbing leaks from shell leaks, in all 21 cities.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Palm Beach Gardens?
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 Palm Beach Gardens 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. The repair is quoted separately in Palm Beach Gardens, and the 60-day warranty covers detection when we do the work; 561-760-9500 explains both.
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 Gardens 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.
