Pool Leak Detection for Shavano Park
Water loss has a source; find it before it becomes a bigger problem
Shavano Park pools have been sitting on shrinking and swelling clay since the 1970s, and the skimmer joints, light niches, and original PVC have moved with it every dry summer. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
On a pool this age the question is less whether something has moved and more which fitting gave up first, so we pressure test each line separately rather than assuming the skimmer, and we photograph the dye result before proposing a repair.
Leak clues on an older Shavano Park pool
From the leak crew
A skimmer that gulps air when the level drops an inch, a deck joint that has opened along Salado Creek Greenway, a light that stopped working after the level fell, or a water bill that jumped in July are the signs worth a call. Oak roots reach original PVC on the large lots, and the clay under a 1980s deck has had four decades to pull on the skimmer throat.
Skimmer throats, light niches, and main drain lines are the usual sources on Shavano Park pools, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Shavano Park 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, Greater San AntonioWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
An inch a day usually means a leak, not the weather, even with hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water. Evaporation takes a quarter inch or so on a hot Shavano Park day and far less in humid or cool weather; wind, a heater, a spa spillway, and hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water 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 7 cities we serve. Detection is warranted for 30 days in Shavano Park when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 7 cities we serve.
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 hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water are doing. What you cannot see from the deck, a Shavano Park leak detection visit finds by pressure-testing each line and dye-testing the fittings and the shell, the same routine across 7 cities. In Shavano Park the visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water in mind.
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, hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water 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 Shavano Park that takes a day and no tools, and finding the source takes the pressure and dye testing of a detection visit, one call to 210-704-1400. The bucket test is also how our Shavano Park technicians check the repair afterward, against hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Shavano Park?
Fittings and plumbing under the deck, worked loose by hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water. Skimmer throats separate, return lines crack where the deck settles, and light conduit corrodes in wet ground; in a Shavano Park pool, under hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water, 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 210-704-1400 is set up for. The repair is quoted separately in Shavano Park, and the 30-day warranty covers detection when we do the work; 210-704-1400 explains both.
Is it a leak or evaporation in Texas weather?
Evaporation depends on the weather, meaning hard water, cedar and oak pollen, and 90-degree water; a leak does not. In Shavano Park 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 7 cities we serve.
