Pool Leak Detection for Tequesta
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Tequesta problem
Tequesta pools on the Loxahatchee sit a few feet above a river that rises with the tide, so a leaking line never leaves a puddle and often takes on groundwater when the pump is off, while the 1960s pools around the village center have original plumbing that has had sixty years to give up on sand that drains a leak in an afternoon. If the autofill runs more than the inlet breeze explains, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
On the river the tide tells us which side of the water table the line is on and the corroded light niche gets tested first; in the village we map what is actually under the deck and test the oldest run before anything else, because sixty years of owners rarely leave a drawing.
How a Tequesta pool shows a leak
From the leak crew
A level that moves with the tide on the river lots, a coping joint that opened on the seawall side, a skimmer that gulps air once the level drops an inch on the village pools, a light that quit after the level fell, or a water bill that climbed in the dry season are the signs worth a call. Sand and river water between them hide the loss, so the pad and the pool have to tell the story.
Corroded light niches and return fittings on the river, skimmer throats and main drain lines on the 1960s pools, and skimmer joints on settled seawall corners are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Tequesta 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?
It is almost certainly a leak. Evaporation in Tequesta 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 Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year 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 561-760-9500 gets the test scheduled. Detection is warranted for 60 days in Tequesta when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 21 cities we serve.
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 Tequesta the plumbing joints are the usual answer, which the pressure test names, a call to 561-760-9500 away. Detection and repair are quoted separately in Tequesta, 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, 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 Tequesta 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. Turn the autofill off first in Tequesta, or the test measures nothing, whatever Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year do.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Tequesta?
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 Tequesta, Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year 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 21 cities we serve. In Tequesta a leak found at a fitting is usually a small repair; one under the deck is scoped in writing before any cutting, in all 21 cities.
Is it a leak or evaporation in Florida weather?
Evaporation depends on the weather, meaning Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year; a leak does not. In Tequesta 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 21 cities we serve.
