Pool Leak Detection for The Colony
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger The Colony problem
The Colony pools in The Tribute sit on fill beside Lewisville Lake with spas, spillovers, and feature lines that can each lose water on their own, while the Stewart Peninsula pools sit on clay that has been swelling and shrinking under their decks since the 1990s, and neither kind of ground shows where a leak is going. If the level keeps dropping after the bucket test rules out the lake wind, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
On a Tribute pool we isolate the spa, the features, and each return loop and pressure test them one at a time, because a spillover that drains overnight looks exactly like a pool leak until the lines are separated; on Stewart Peninsula it is the skimmer joint that thirty dry Augusts have worked on, and that gets the dye first.
How a Colony pool shows a leak
From the leak crew
A spa that drops to the spillover overnight, a feature pump that keeps catching air, a level that falls faster with the returns on, a skimmer that gulps air once the level drops an inch on the peninsula, or a deck that has settled toward the lake are the clues worth a call. Wind across the lake evaporates real water, so the bucket test comes first.
Spa check valves and feature lines in The Tribute, skimmer throats and return fittings on the 1990s peninsula pools, and light conduits on builder-grade plumbing in Austin Ranch are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions The Colony 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, DFW MetroplexWhy is my pool losing 1 inch of water a day?
Because an inch a day is more than evaporation. Evaporation in The Colony runs up to about half an inch a day in the hottest, driest stretches and less most of the year, even with hard water, spring pollen, and July heat, 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 972-953-6261 asks whether you have done. Detection is warranted for 30 days in The Colony when Blue Science makes the recommended repair, in all 41 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, spring pollen, and July heat are doing. What you cannot see from the deck, a The Colony leak detection visit finds by pressure-testing each line and dye-testing the fittings and the shell, the same routine across 41 cities. Detection and repair are quoted separately in The Colony, so you approve a defined fix; 972-953-6261 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, hard water, spring pollen, and July heat 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 The Colony that takes a day and no tools, and finding the source takes the pressure and dye testing of a detection visit, one call to 972-953-6261. The bucket test is also how our The Colony technicians check the repair afterward, against hard water, spring pollen, and July heat.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in The Colony?
Movement. The deck and the shell move at different rates as hard water, spring pollen, and July heat work on a The Colony 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 41 cities we serve. The repair is quoted separately in The Colony, and the 30-day warranty covers detection when we do the work; 972-953-6261 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 hard water, spring pollen, and July heat. A The Colony 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 41 cities.
