Pool Leak Detection for Sunrise
Water loss has a source; find it before it becomes a bigger problem
Sunrise pools sit on fill beside the drainage canals with the water table a few feet down, so a leaking line never leaves a puddle, and the original 1970s and 1980s plumbing has had four decades to move with the settling fill under decks that were poured when the houses were new. If your pool is losing more than evaporation explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
Sunrise pools were plumbed before flexible couplings were common, so the rigid joints at the skimmer and the returns have taken forty years of settling fill; we isolate each line under pressure and let the drop tell us which one before the dye goes in.
Leak clues in a Sunrise pool
From the leak crew
A skimmer that gulps air when the level drops an inch, a level that stops at the light, a coping joint that opened on the canal side, air in the pump basket, or a water bill that jumped in the dry season are the signs worth a call. Wet ground hides the loss, so the pad and the pool have to tell the story.
Rigid skimmer joints and main drain lines on the 1970s pools, and return fittings on settled canal-side corners, are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Sunrise 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, Miami-Fort LauderdaleWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
An inch a day usually means a leak, not the weather, even with year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air. Evaporation takes a quarter inch or so on a hot Sunrise day and far less in humid or cool weather; wind, a heater, a spa spillway, and year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air 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 29 cities we serve. Call 786-605-7500 before the autofill hides it: in Sunrise 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?
You narrow it, we confirm it. The bucket test proves it is a leak; the stopping point of the water level narrows it to the skimmer, a return, the light, or the shell; and the pressure test on each line, with dye at the fittings, pins it down, year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air or not. On a Sunrise pool that is usually a plumbing joint under the deck rather than a crack, and the visit ends with a written report of the source, the same report we write in all 29 cities. Our Sunrise technicians document the source with photos before any repair is proposed, whatever year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air did to the pipes.
What is the easiest way to find a leak in a pool?
Compare the pool to a bucket. Fill a bucket to the pool level on the top step, mark both, run the pool normally for a day with the autofill off, and read the difference: evaporation moves both lines, a leak moves only the pool, whatever year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air are doing. If a Sunrise pool loses more than the bucket, the next step is pressure testing the lines and dye testing the fittings to find where, the same steps in all 29 cities we serve. Turn the autofill off first in Sunrise, or the test measures nothing, whatever year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air do.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Sunrise?
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 Sunrise, year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air 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 29 cities we serve. Once fixed, a Sunrise pool on weekly service gets its water level checked every visit, whatever year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air bring.
Will my autofill hide a leak?
Completely, until the water bill arrives, and year-round warmth, daily storms, and salt air hide it further. An autofill replaces what the pool loses, so the level never moves and the only symptoms are a higher bill, chemistry that will not hold, and sometimes a damp patch in the Sunrise yard. Turn the autofill off before the bucket test and leave it off for the 24 hours, or the test measures nothing; 786-605-7500 can walk you through it.
