Pool Leak Detection for Wellington
Find the source of the water loss before it becomes a bigger Wellington problem
Wellington pools on the equestrian estates run long pipe between a distant pad and the shell across acreage where a well-fed autofill never shows a leak on a bill, while the Olympia pools sit on fill beside lakes under lanai decks poured in the 2000s and the Aero Club pools sit under decks that have settled since the 1980s. If the level keeps falling after the bucket test, Blue Science finds the source and quotes the repair separately.
On the estates the well hides the leak, so we start by timing the fill and then pressure test each long run on its own; in Olympia the lanai's settled lake-side corner points at the skimmer joint, and in the Aero Club it is the return fittings that forty years of settling have pulled.
Where a Wellington pool loses water
From the leak crew
A well pump that runs more than it should on the estates, a return that lost flow on one side of a long run, a coping joint that opened on the lake side of an Olympia lanai, a skimmer that gulps air once the level falls an inch in the Aero Club, or a light that quit after the level fell are the signs worth a call. Wet ground hides the loss everywhere in Wellington, so the pad and the pool have to tell the story.
Long acreage runs, skimmer throats on settled lake-side corners, return fittings on the 1980s Aero Club plumbing, and light conduits on builder-grade Olympia pools are the usual sources, and each is dye-tested during the visit.

Questions Wellington 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?
Because something is leaking. A Wellington pool loses water to evaporation, splash-out, and backwashing, but even Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year cannot evaporate an inch every day. The fastest check is the bucket test: match a bucket on the step to the pool level, turn the autofill off, and compare after a day; the bucket shows the evaporation, the gap is the leak, and its size tells us whether to look first at a fitting, a line, or the shell, as it does across all 21 cities. Detection is warranted for 60 days in Wellington 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 Wellington the plumbing joints are the usual answer, which the pressure test names, a call to 561-760-9500 away. In Wellington the visit starts at the equipment pad and works toward the shell, with Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year in mind.
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 Wellington 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. In Wellington the standard detection visit is quoted up front and the repair separately; 561-760-9500 has both numbers.
What is the most common cause of pool leaks in Wellington?
Movement. The deck and the shell move at different rates as Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year work on a Wellington 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 21 cities we serve. In Wellington 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.
Does a leaking pool get worse if I wait?
Yes, in three ways, and Atlantic salt air, daily storms, and warm water all year speed all three. Every day the autofill covers the loss you pay for water and for the chemicals that leave with it; water leaving under the deck washes out the fill and settles the deck, which opens more joints; and a pool that drops below the skimmer lets the pump suck air and run dry, which turns a leak call into a repair call. In Wellington the leak that started in spring is a bigger job by fall, which is why 561-760-9500 is worth a call early.
